Welcome. Lots of folks here are willing to help. Lower velocity loads are relatively easy to produce accurate results. As the velocity goes up the challenges increase. Also hunting and target alloys, lube, coating or paper patching methods can be different.

The more you let us know as to what your intended uses and expectations are the more we can help.

JLF, Welcome. Always nice to have new members. I also have a .338WM. I have only loaded j words bullets until now, but looking to start shooting cast soon. Lots of good information from some great reloaders/casters here.

I hunt wild boar ... I hunt on the prowl, I search within the forest, so the shots are at close range. With muzzle velocities of 1900-2000 ft / sec it is more than enough.
As for the alloy to use, it would be the following:
72% Lead
9% Tin
19% Antimony
Using gas check. And when you have enough experience, perform an electrolytic copper plating.
The powder I'm going to use is A19, it's made in my country, it's a very slow powder, it's used to reload the .50 anti-aircraft calibers.
I currently use this powder to refill with 250-grain Hornady Interlock SP or Rn tips, with very good hunting results.
I apologize for my English, he helped me a lot with the translator.

I started hunting big game with the .338 win.mag., And it's the only one I own, I don't need another one. I am in love with this caliber.
I am also getting started in recharging with molten lead tips. It means total independence.
Thanks for the welcome..

Thank you very much for the welcome.
In Argentina you can hunt many species, both large game and small game. From partridges to the majestic red deer.
