338 Big Baer (338/408) Bartlein barrel left hand gain twist 1/10” to 1/9.25” 300 grain Elite Hunter at 3135 fps 135 grains of 50 BMG.
That's a freaking cannon!!! Didn't want it to limp away I guess?
Nice shooting and interesting mount. I like it !
great bear and great shot
sounds alot like what I run. 338/408 cheytac. 34” brux 10 twist. 300 grain sierra matchking at 3150 fps 130 grains h50.
i really want to end up around 3,250-3,300 with the berger otm or hornady a-tip.
im in PA too
If you are planning to use the OTM for hunting you may want to re-think that. I used them for two years and had too many pass-throughs, luckily we never lost a game animal. I had used them when they first came out and they worked fine but the next 250 I bought gave me the issue I stated earlier. That's why I went with the Elite Hunters. You should be able to reach your goal of 3250/3300. I pushed the the 300 Bergers to 3375 with 147 grains of 50BMG but it wasn't worth it, the barrel was toast around 1000 rounds.
thanks for the pointers, maybe i’ll lean towards getting the atip working first.
you big baer has more capacity than mine, mine is non improved. the highest i got yet was 3,300 with the 300 smk with 140 of h50.
i could have pushed it probably a little more but 140 gave me a slight clicker and slight primer cratering. i may try 20n29 to see if i can squeeze out some more velocity.
