Another route to look into is a Paper Patched bullet. The patch rides the barrel and lead dosnt touch. a softer alloy can be used at better velocities. I believe Col Harrison did some work with 300 win mag and PP bullets at pretty much full velocity in the 60s. I think the was in the rifleman magazine. In the 6.5 it may get you where you need to be, In the 338 it should get you way past where you need to be. A bore dia bullet ( maybe - .001 ) in dia wrapped with 2 wraps of Seth Cole paper ( .0018 thk) will gain .007 in dia. So a .258 bullet wraped with this paper is going to be .265 dia But the lead wont touch the barrel causing problems.
