334 OKH
Historical Notes:
The 334 OKH is another development by Charles O'Neil, Elmer Keith, and Don
Hopkins dating back to the late 1940's. This one is based on the 300 H&H
Magnum necked up to 333 caliber. Bullets of this size were made by Fred Barnes
in weights from 200 to 300 grains. The 334 OKH is the forerunner of a number of
developments leading up to the 338 Winchester Magnum.
After the 338 Winchester was introduced, everyone
switched to .338 inch diameter bullets.
General Comments:
The 334 OKH is an excellent big game cartridge for North American hunting and is
also adequate for most soft skinned African big game. Like all other 333 caliber
cartridges, it was made obsolete by the 338 Winchester
Magnum.
