TBASTIAN-
I sent you a PM as well
I am having the same problem with the very same rifle! .338 Browing SS...In fact, I have problems getting anything under 1.5 inches....here is what I have found so far for the 250 gr NP (which is the one i plan to use for everything)
250 gr NP
68.0 gr of...
Last fall i got a small mulie buck with a 180 gr AB from a 300 WSM. I was shooting it at almost 3000 fps, and at 50 yards it made a perfect controlled expansion. I was a little worried that a small deer might not get much expansion, or maybe too much, but the bullet performed well. No...
The hodgdon and IMR websites have some data, but only for a couple bullets. I'm looking for data by Nosler or some of the forum users with 115/120 gr NP or 110 Accubond. Anyone out there have some info on the 25 WSSM?
Dan
My new LH 25 WSSM just got here and i need to work up some loads! :grin:
I would like to load the 115/120 gr Partition or the 110 gr accubond, as well as some 115 gr BT's.
Anyone have any load data for those?
NOSLER, when will you have the load data published for this cartridge? Maybe...
Glad you found a shooter! I did some testing with mine at 300 yds the other night and shot a group of 3 that were about 1.5 inches. I can't remember what my COL is at, but usually longer is better, but i had to make mine somenwhat shorter then my chamber could handle since my magazine was the...
I have the same gun (browning 300 WSM) and yes, you will have to seat the bullet a little deeper. In fact, every bullet i own i have to seat a little deeper for that gun, but it doesn't seem to hurt performance. I have loaded the 180 gr Partitions at 2900 fps, 200 Gr PT at 2875, and achieved...
One other thing I think they mean by "Stabilize" has to do with twist rate. As that bullet screms downt he barrel, twisting away, the bullet takes on a "rotaional velocity". Each weight projectile, takes on a different rate of rotational velocity, depending on amount of contact surface of the...
I have been noticing my 300 WSM brass will not always chamber after full length resizing, and i suspected that the necks were the culprit. It seems after 1-2 reloads, they dont' want to fit anymore. Anyone else notice the same thing?
Dan
Thanks RF,
The one load with the H4350 is very close to mine except i use IMR 4350 at 71.5. I tried 72.5 and i started seeing flattened primers and the little shiny spot ont he case head, so i backed down. I'm assuming my load is someplace around 2850-2900....Don't have a chrono, but my...
Acutally, according to my Nosler manual, those loads i gave you are about 2 gr below the lowest listed loads, so you might not want to go down too much! Let me know how they work for you !
Dan
I just worked up 2 diff loads....
69 gr of IMR 4350 with a COL of 3.370 (.025 off the lands in my rifle)
or 70 GR of H4350
Savage rifle, 24 bbl, Win cases Fed primers
Both will group .5 inches at 100 yds, and shoot almost in the same holes. in fact i put 13 shots into 0.9 " using both loads...
R Flowers, you have a PM.....but i forgot to ask what kind of velocities are you getting with those loads>....
Thanks
yes, i'm having some trouble getting the AB's to group as well as the partitions. Funny cause it's the other way around for my 300 WSM. I gues that what makes this reloading...
I'll be after interior AK grizzlies. I have also considered 250 gr pt, but am looking for an all around load for up here, that I can use on anything and occasionally at longer distances. Or even if i happen to take a trip to CO for elk and mulies.
Thanks for the info on bullet construction...
I have 2 questions for the Nosler experts (or any other "expert" out there ) :lol:
1. I am looking for a load for the 338 Win Mag, with 225 gr AB/NP with RL-22 powder. I found data for RL-19, but i don't have any on hand and have a hunch that RL-22 will work. Any data out there ???
