My rifle said No! about 2 1/2 for all four...bummer. I'm going to try the 210 NP with R17 or Big Game and see what happens.

So far, in my 338/06, I've only tried a few loads with the 175H&H and the 200 NBT/200 NAB. I have arrived at a couple loads that I'm very pleased with. While I didn't chrono my loads, the same charges others have reported gave impressive speeds. I'm not going to have this rifle Ackleyed. I have...

Today the 62gr/R17/175HH shot best, 3/4" vertical stack for 3 shots. I had torqued my action screws to 55# after having the TT Special installed. It seemed, to me, that it shot better before at 50#. I'm gonna back off to 50# again and see how she does. PS I got the 175HH touching each other...

I only killed game with the 180NAB in the 338 RUM, and he stumbled and dropped. A big Aoudad. 3500fps! Whangus, lol.

Tex- my rifle was a full custom by Match Grade Arms. The sudden recoil arrest by that godawful loud brake acted like the big air piston in a pellet rifle. It was just too much of a good thing, but I sure love that 340 Wby round! I like the 338 RUM even better, but I have figured out that IF I...

I took a 340 Wby with the older Barnes 210 XBT (clocked 3200fps) to South Africa/Namibia back in '98. It had a KDF style brake that was super loud! It shot great, took zebra, Impala, Blesbuk and Gemsbuk. It was too much of a good thing in that 5 1/2 pd rifle (before scope). It kicked the guts...

All those reasons for me, plus, they work even of they get filled with gunk!

Thanks for posting Tex, I always enjoy Brother Randy, ha.

I loaded up some trial loads in the Lapua brass, R17, 175 Hammer, BR2 primers, 62 - 64gr. I had no problem with the 64gr ( QL Max showed 64.3gr in WW brass) being overly compressed. I sure hope this rifle likes it. I'm making the effort to get out to the range this week for sure. I was off on...

I have 4 rounds of the same components/charge to test out next week, Lord willing! Thanks sir!

Hey there old friend! I am using Varget under the Nosler 210 Partition, I will see what that does for me, thanks Roger!

I think R17 is your huckleberry in that BAR, if you can find any. Hodgdon or IMR 4350 next. Years ago, my recently deceased ( dang, all my friends are going to Heaven) fellow Minister ( then he was over in WY) and really was like a brother to me started bugging me. He kept talking of going...

Lord Willing, I'm going start out with R17 with some 175gr Hammers. I have some 210 TTSX too. Only 225s I have on hand are some Speer Boat tails. I was going to use them for a substitute/practice load for that Mod 700 338WM I sold ( I then had some Barnes 225 TTSX.) Sold the ones (2 boxes) I...

Scotty the rifle was a .270 safe queen, no visible sign of ever being fired, and not a scratch on it! It will be pillar bedded, floated and have a Limbsaver pad. I'm having a Rifle Basix trigger put in. My smith is very good at setting them super crisp. I'm going to put my Leupold 3.5x10 on it...

That is excellent! Some of you will remember me speaking of my first heartbreaking 7x57 experience....Back in early 90's, I had an 80's Mod 70 Fwt in 7x57. ( JOC had me hooked!) I tried many weights/makes of bullets from 139 to 175 and never got it grouping less than 2-3", ha. It had the Honor...

Goodness, that thing is smoking! Thanks Doc, I have some guidelines now instead of trying to interpolate. I wore my "Interpolater" Grey matter right down to the White Meat when I was in the Army ( FDC Arty) back when everything was Sin/Cos and Big slide rules, ha.

My rebarreled M70 Fwt with 25" Shilen is almost ready, should have by next week. I want to try the Hammer Hunter 101gr in this 7x57 for a predator/deer bullet. What kind of speed can I get from 63K loads? Thank you/

I look up all Load Data I can, including Barnes. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the powders they list for the 210! ha Another reason I like QL is I can look at the Max pressure I am willing to use and the corresponding velocity. Its just another guideline I like to use is all. I have had...

If you try Hornady CX, remember that I could not get either the 185 nor 225 to shoot out of my last 338WM! 5-7"patterns! In FF loads for my 338/06 the 225 was all over the target. :)

Beautiful rifle Scotty! I would never have guessed it was Maple! Looks more like Feather Crotch English or even Dark French. Just gorgeous!
