      Buying .338 Winchester Magnum Ammunition in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists 18 .338 Winchester Magnum loads, and 14 can be ordered today. Hornady has the most options, with Norma, Remington, Barnes, Sako and Winchester also listed, in bullet weights from 200 to 300 grains. The .338 Win Mag is mostly used in Australia on sambar and other large deer, so the range leans towards bonded, monolithic and controlled-expansion hunting bullets, with one full metal jacket practice load.

Every box is collection only from the Roseville Chase store; ammunition is never posted or couriered. Order online and it will be held for you to pick up.
