Description
The Speer 2406 Boat-Tail is a .338 caliber, 225 grain Spitzer Boat-Tail Soft Point rifle bullet designed for handloaders building accurate, hard-hitting .338 hunting loads. The tapered boat-tail base reduces drag and helps the bullet retain velocity downrange, while the exposed soft-point tip promotes controlled expansion on game.
Built around a traditional lead core wrapped in a copper jacket, this bullet carries a ballistic coefficient of 0.484 and a sectional density of 0.281. It measures 1.270″ in length with a .338″ diameter, and ships 50 bullets per box (5 boxes per case). Speer’s published reloading data covers this 225-grain option in the .338 Federal, among other .338 hunting cartridges.
Recommended for hunting, this reloading bullet gives handloaders a proven boat-tail soft point for .338 caliber rifle cartridges. It is built with no cannelure, so the bullet can be seated to fit individual chamber and magazine requirements.
