Thx... I know my 338 mk II has a mag contour barrel and my 7mm no II is sport er... I think I might have to look for a 25-06 I think they have a magnum contour

:P I guess I can call ruger tomorrow but if anyone on here has calipers and a hawkeye 270 could you measure the muzzle and see if its at least .616 -- if not how far down the barrel till it reaches .616i wouldnt mind going down to 19-20 inches on a 9.3x62

Well a rebore is $225- and is effectively a new barrel. Gunsmith cost is variable, but between buying a contoured barrel and having it installed will likely be a minimum of 500. I have a .338 am so I dont really 'need' either but I would like a shorter handier brush gun with 300 grain bullets. I...

Hello im looking to get a ruger m77 hawkeye in 35 whelen or 9.3x62 and the cheapest option seems to be to get one rebored -- I see several .270s on gunbroker -- the special editions they put out in the early 2000s with the green molded stock going for 450 with a rebore that would put it right at...

Not exactly what you were inquiring about but close maybe. I loaded up 175 gr corelokts in my Ruger m77 mkii 7mm rm 24 inch barrel with 62.5 grains of rl22. Grouping was good so I loaded up 40 rounds. After running them through my chronograph I discovered they were going 2750. That is a nosler...

I will probably start with imr 4350 and a also have rl 22 on hand. It will probably not be untill this spring that I get to it, I'm a long haul trucker so I haven't been getting home much. Definitely hoping to have a good load worked up before fall. Right now I'm pretty stocked up on 210 NPs...

Thanks for that info, that's great information. I'm not really wanting to hot rod my rifle though im mostly looking for the most accuracy and brass life. I probably would never take a 500 yard shot and 2650 seems to put it right around 2000 fps at that range. I'm a little Leary of the BC...

Anyone have experience loading this bullet in .338 wm? Iv searched all over the internet and on this site and haven't been able to find anything. With a b.c of .611 this should be the ideal mono bullet for a .338 wm, if it can be driven to 2650-2700 it should be above 2000 fps at 500 yards...
