    Fed up with stuck cases

    Not really, with the stuff in a tube, ya had to deal with getting the lube worked into the pad evenly before getting started, I don't have to do that now, just plop a few cases down on the pad, give a qjuick spray and roll, pretty easy.

    How much H1000 are you using to push a 300gr bullet(.338LM)?

    That's pretty much how I see it. I'm getting around 0.5 MOA with this load, maybe a little better. That's good enough for me so I bought enough components to wear this barrel out.

    How do you range when hunting?

    If I'm setting up at an overlook I'm going to hunt for the day, I use the LRF early in the morning before the sun is up to maximize LRF distance. I will sometimes draw a sketch and mark distances to landmarks, angles if they're significant.

    How much H1000 are you using to push a 300gr bullet(.338LM)?

    I'm getting very nice groups and haven't even tried changing the jump, -0.005 was just where I started and when I found a node at 89.0 - 89.5, I just haven't tried anything else. It seems to shooting better at this point than I am. :-\

    How much H1000 are you using to push a 300gr bullet(.338LM)?

    I was starting to see some pressure signs @ 91.0 gr. H1000 in my rifle with 300 gr Bergers, -0.005" lands, Lapua brass. My pet load is: 89.5 gr. H1000 Lapua brass 300 gr. Berger Fed 215 -0.005 off lands (2.976" @ogive) 2794 avg vel. in Savage 110BA (Magnetospeed) No stuck cases here, works in...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Pistol for Grizzly Bear Country

    I'm a big 10mm fan and carry it for lots of things, but in Griz country I carry a .44 Mag with heavy hard cast bullets. A 10mm might do the job, saw a video with the Nuge taking a water buffalo with a 10mm, but for me, when it's my skin and nobody backing me up, I'm going to take the 44 Mag as...

    Primers vs Match Grade Primers

    Usually just consistency is a bit better. In most applications, you'll never notice the difference.

    Is there something wrong with compressed loads?

    I try to avoid compressed loads. In addition to sometimes causing runout issues and additional die wear, the bullet crushes the powder which affects burn rate due to the flame-deterrent coating getting fractured. I try to find a powder which gives me a high load density, preferably about to...

    Fed up with stuck cases

    I'm using OS and no problems with any of the calibers I'm shooting. I put my cases on a lube pad, spray with OS then roll. Then I use a case neck brush sprayed with OS to get lube inside the neck. No problems for me. It could be your die needs polished. I've been known to put some JB on a...

    Blemished Match Bullets 338, 250 Grain Hollow Point @ Midway

    They appear to be Hornady, wrong ogive for Sierra.

    Range Report What is the consensus on 338 RUM?

    It's just a matter of what you WANT to shoot. The 300 WM probably has more than sufficient energy and distance for anything you might want to hunt. Brass is cheaper, more plentiful and you can buy better quality brass than you can for the 338 RUM with which you'll be stuck with using Rem brass...

    Broken case...

    How many times did you trim them and how much?

    wierd accuracy problems

    Sounds like a bedding issue to me. Expansion of the barrel when it warms up is causing an issue, perhaps with the recoil lug? I'd re-bed.

    338lm load range h1000 HSM

    Re: 338lm load range h1000 HSM I believe HSM brass is manufactured by Bertram, an Australian manufacturer. I don't believe Nosler is made by Bertram. With respect to your neck tension, here is my procedure for getting my necks uniformed. 1. With new brass, lube and run through normal sizer...

    How far past max powder charge will you go?

    Re: How far past max powder charge will you go? Well, great big maybe on that one. I usually start my .30 and .338 loads out around -0.050" off the lands. I guess an exception (always exceptions) to that is supposedly Berger VLDs like to be close. I have some 210 VLDs I'm going to be...

    How far past max powder charge will you go?

    Re: How far past max powder charge will you go? Looks like your Savage has a node about the same place my 300wm sendero has one. I'm currently working on a load that's 78.6 gr. H-1000 .040" off the lands and I'm getting velocities right in there with your 78.5 loads.

    338 lapua without a brake?

    Re: 338 lapua without a brake? 338 Lapua in a 17 lb. rifle wouldn't worry me a bit. I shoot a Sendero in 338 RUM, nearly identical case capacity with 250 & 300 gr rounds. My Sendero is 10 lbs. 11 oz., has no brake and it is no problem standing or sitting. It gets a little old off of the...

    Bringing back my 338 Savagae 110BA for refund

    Re: Bringing back my 338 Savagae 110BA for refund 1. For your misfires, you might try adding a little more weight to your trigger using the tool provided by Savage. When I received my BA, the trigger was releasing too light and the safety sear wasn't fully depressed when the trigger...

    300 win mag

    Re: 300 win mag I'd recommend trying the Sierra 190 mk and see if it shoots well for you. They're usually very accurate in a 1:10 and do well to beyond 1000 yds and won't break the bank.
