loads used????if 338win Mag, not 338Lapua,thanks!

Yes a .338 win mag. I have 3 different makes. But the Sako killed the elk. I tried a few powders but the Sako liked the h4350 best. Using frontier brass

Can you direct me to some load data? thanks.

Sure, ended up using 71.5 of h4350. That had me pushing the 230eldx around 2920fps. I tried all the way up to 74 but got sticky bolt so I stoped. That 71.5 of h4350 that my Sako loved, my ruger and browning did not, the groups where as bad as factory ammo.
