    .338 Edge load questions

    Re: .338 Edge load questions Ten+ years ago I had a Sendero in 338 Ultra punched out and I played with 200gr Ballistic Tips, 210 Partitions, and the original 210 Barnes X's. IMR 7828 and H-4831-SC were the stars. BT's at 3330 and the PT's right at 3300 even in the 26" tube. Never tried the...

    Neck Tension vs. Time

    Re: Neck Tension vs. Time My take on it based on shooting 1K BR. I know some are anal enough to not seat their bullets till the morning on match day. I found that it doesn't make any difference, although I do shoot moly, whether that makes a difference or not. One year, at our April match...

    Hunting & Fishing What stock for a hunting rifle???

    Re: What stock for a hunting rifle??? Classic all the way. I've got several, including a 338-06 Imp and a couple others with #5's. They'll damn near take a Rem Varmint contour.

    338-06 What bullet works well for that setup?

    Re: 338-06 What bullet works well for that setup? I went with the improved version, just because. Mines a 23" barrel and see no reason to go longer. H-4350 day in and day gives me the best with 200/210 bullets. I use 30-06 Lapua necked up and detailed. I just finished up fireforming...

    Performance update on Hornady 285's

    Re: Performance update on Hornady 285's But as Paul Harvey would say, "now for the rest of the story".. 2nd and 3rd place shot 6 Dashers with a 9.6 and 10.7 respectively. Hell, I shot a 12.3 agg and took 12th in HG group with my Dasher, with a 9, two 10's and a 18. One 10 and the 18 came...

    6.5 20" barrel velocity?

    Re: 6.5 20" barrel velocity? Just for reference, I've got a X-P 100 in 6.5-284 with an 18" Broughton that runs 142 SMK's at 2740, which is exactly a 300 fps loss over my 31 inchers.

    Hornady: Why no .338 A-Max 250's and 300's

    Re: Hornady: Why no .338 A-Max 250's and 300's They've made a bunch of the 285's already but aren't going to release them til the new year. Bring in 2011 with a bang, so to speak.....

    reloading 6.5x284 H4350

    Re: reloading 6.5x284 H4350 I blew around 350 rounds in my first barrel looking for the holy grail. I didn't mention different primers, neck tension, or seating depths among other things...... I finally decided to get six 8 pounders of H4831SC of the same lot and work on loading details...

    reloading 6.5x284 H4350

    Re: reloading 6.5x284 H4350 But in how many barrels? Some examples of mine, H-4831SC I went to 3125, but ES's went to the upper 20's. This load shot good, but was tough on pockets after a couple of firings. H-1000 I went to 57 grains at only 2970. R-22 went to 3123 but the groups...

    reloading 6.5x284 H4350

    Re: reloading 6.5x284 H4350 I shoot 1K competition, and it's accuracy first, velocity second, with in reason. I've shot a 6.5-284 for several years and a few barrels worth. I've tried R-19, R-22, R-25, H-4350, H-4831, H-1000, 7828, Retumbo, Magnum, and VV-165 to name most of them. H-4831SC...
