It was not a double charge that blew up that rifle. The average powder charge for a 338 win mag is 60.0 gr. Maybe it was the low powder charge had something to do with it. More than likley wrong type of powder used. I don`t see how you can double charge a rifle cartridge theres just not enough room. I reload 223 up to 458 win and a whole bunch in between and know way can you double charge any of those. Excellent advice for loading hand gun cartridges.
