Greetings,
I have a tikka 338 win mag I am thinking about converting to a 33 Nosler for a little more horse power. There does not seem to be a lot of load data out there regarding the 33 nosler. The data i have found does not seem to show a lot of improvement over the win mag which was surprising because the 33 nosler has quite a bit more case capacity. I am wondering if anyone has any good experience with the 33 Nosler they can share? I live in Alaska and this rifle will be my bear hunting rifle. Because of the tikka action, all my loads will have to be a SAAMI length due to mag COAL restrictions. I am interested in the 225-250 grain bullet weights.
