About this bullet

.338 | 275gr | Speer SSP is a bullet made by Speer. At 275 gr (17.8 g) and a diameter of 0.338'' (8.59 mm) it suits handloads where bullet weight and barrel length have to be matched carefully. Its G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.448 drives velocity retention and wind drift downrange — higher values mean a flatter trajectory at distance. A twist rate of 1:16.0 is recommended for stable flight; slower twists can under-stabilise this bullet. We currently list 998 load recipes across 20 calibers for this bullet.
