Brother, speed is fine but accuracy is final. I'm with you on the primitive weapons. I've killed a truck bed full of deer with 45-caliber soboted bullets fired through my Knight 50 cal in-line muzzleloader. BTW, unfortunately I'll only be shooting whitetail deer under 210-220 lbs with most being...
Well, I have shot nearly 200 rounds thru that aforementioned 338WM. (100) 225-grain Nosler AccuBonds and (85) 210-grain Nosler Partions. I've shot both Peterson and Premium Nosler brass. I've ran 8 difficult powders, 2 different magnum primers, different powder charges with each powder, and a...
This is my private little rifle range. Reckon how many rifle balls it took to shoot all these big oak and sweet gum trees down? There's multiple trees on the dirt including two that would have been hard if not impossible for me to reach around. I've been shooting at this particular place for 6...
I have had single digit extreme spreads and standard deviations with this 338 and several different powders and powder charges. Is than normal with this caliber? Ive never loaded anything close to these type numbers before. However, sadly, 63 grains of H380 underneath a 225 grain AccuBond at an...
I tried that to no avail so I reluctantly had to take it to a gunsmith. Watching the gunsmith heat my pristine 1992 Browning Bar 338 to the point that smoke was boiling out of causing me to have flashbacks from my firefighter days. There's NO WAY IM HƐLL that I could have done that to my gun. At...
It's FUNNY seeing "Beginner" under my name when I've been reloading years longer than some of the guys on this forum has been alive, lol. Yeah, I know that it means "Beginner" to this forum.
Anyway, I finally popped my 🍒. It's officially official now. I'm a 338 WM virgin no more. I have got a...
I killed my 1st one at age 11. It was a Sunday morning. The dogs were BOILING and coming straight to and old county road at the corner of a dirt road. My dad dropped me off from his 1973 2WD stepside Chevy truck with an Remington 870 loaded with Remington 2¾" 9 pellet 00 Buck. He made the left...
I've killed countless deer with everything to 222 Rem up to 375 H&H magnum. However, this fall with be the 1st time that I ever drop one with a 338. Hear in Bama we can kill 2 does per day and 3 bucks per season. Counting my crop damage permit hunting during the late 80s thru the 90s I've killed...
Thank Thank you. Is it possible to fire form 338s from 7mm brass while using my new BAR & 15 or 20 grains of BD, Cream of Wheat to the bottom of the case neck, then a wax cap filling the neck?
Thank you. I've always dreamed of shooting elk, moose, and especially grizzlies. Unfortunately we just don't see that many of those critters in SE Alabama.
