Eagleye , Yea I know , its the old fly with a hammer thing . Besides you never know when the Brown bear popultion in Michigan will expolode. Not the only rifle 3- 30-06's , 348 Win, 7mm Rem mag, 300 Win , 300 RUM , 338 Win and 338 RUM. The 338 RUM seems to keep following me around . I have a...
JD338 , I worked up to 102 grs. of H1000 thats listed as Hodgdons max . That chrono'd 3180 30 ft form the muzzle. On the load pictured I bumped it to 102.2 but didn't chrono it. Thats a compressed load in my rifle and I suspect close to max if not a bit hot . This powder may be a little slow...
