    Rare Ammo 338 Win Mag

    Trying to help a friend get some ammo before heading to Alaska. I’ve got some time but everything I’m seeing is OOS with no estimate on production. Nosler is not producing this currently and I’m not sure they ever will again.

    If anyone can point me to anyone that may have some I’d appreciate it greatly.

    Specifically looking for 225 gr Accubond Nosler.

    Trying to talk him into taking my 338 Lapua instead

    How much ammo? 20 rounds?

    Two boxes would be great (40) but I’ll take what I can get.
    Gun is sighted with this specific cartridge so 20 should be plenty.

    $106 for 20rds and there's only one company that currently makes this cartridge. I hope you friend has been saving his brass because he'll either need to reload or buy a rifle chambered for another cartridge.

    Shit is expensive. mark loaded up some for my 338WM years ago. We chased our ass trying to get some sub MOA ammo then found out the base was loose. It was a beating. If you get desperate let us know. But your probably better off just buying some quality ammo.
