Re: load data for 300 grain .338 scenar
Wow. I get a stiff bolt lift at 97 pushing 250 Scenars, much less the 300, Hodgdon lists 98 at max with the 250 Hornady. I'm looking at the PDF file from the Hodgdon Web site right now, it shows max at 94 grains, compressed, 53,400cup, 2654 from a 24" tube, with the 300 Sierra, which has less bearing surface. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong manual, because it does not show a minimum load. QuickLoad is not usually far off the mark, I'm just amazed that a chamber chould make such a large differance. What's your COAL? How far off the lands are you?
