The Speer Bullets .338 Caliber 225 Grain Spitzer Boat Tail is a premium rifle bullet built for reloaders who demand accuracy and consistency downrange. Whether you're handloading for long-range hunting, precision rifle competition, or high-volume practice, these .338-caliber projectiles deliver the performance that's made Speer a trusted name in shooting components for over 70 years. The 225-grain weight in this caliber strikes a balance between velocity and energy retention, making it a versatile choice across a range of .338 magnum and standard .338 cartridges.
The spitzer boat tail design is engineered for optimum flight characteristics and ballistic efficiency. The profiled jacket construction ensures consistent performance shot to shot, with traditional jacketed bullet integrity that reloaders have relied on for decades. Speer's quality control during manufacturing means each bullet in the box of 50 meets strict tolerances for dimension, weight, and concentricity—critical factors when you're working up precision loads.
These bullets work equally well for hunters pursuing medium to large game, long-range target shooters, and reloaders fine-tuning loads for maximum accuracy. The boat tail profile reduces drag and helps maintain a flat trajectory, especially valuable when stretching shots beyond typical hunting ranges. With Speer's reputation for dependability and the spitzer boat tail's proven aerodynamics, you're starting with bullets that let you focus on loading technique and shot placement rather than worrying about component quality.
