I have an T/C Encore Custom shop barrel in 338 Federal.
Last weekend I cast a 100 or so with Lee 338-220 mould. Added Pewter Solder with Silver and Trace Copper to bring tin to 2% or so. They are beauties and weigh 215 without gas check. Can't wait to try 'em out.

Hodgdon gave me starting data with H4895 and Trail Boss.

Does anyone have any other data or suggestions. I found 220 gr 308 cast and 356 Win data for 225 grain bullets.
If anyone has any data at all please let me know.

Hullo 44, I don't have any suggestions, but I am interested in what you find out, I just bought that same mould, it is still winter here in Alaska so I haven't had access to the range yet. Please post your findings with this boolit, I have need of the same information as you, if you get a good load , please share.
