My guess is that most 338 bullets are tough, so anyone shooting a 338 Federal knows to go with the "fastest" opening, read also: lowest expanding velocity, since most bullets are built for much higher velocity. Add in that some places restrict lead, classic cup and core are out, and you want to...

Well I found them quicker than I thought I would. I have no idea what the powder is. When I pulled one, there was only 43.2gr in it. Long grains, doesn't look like H4831 unless they shortened the original length on the non SC kernals. I don't have 3031 to compare to, but an old Sierra manual...

I took a cow moose at 217 yards with my 30-06 and 200gr ABs, loaded in front of H4831. This was ten years ago, my father loaded the ammo for me since I was between deployments and didn't have a heck of a lot of time, nor was I the loader I am today. I still have a few of those rounds, but the...

7mm Rem Mag, 67.0gr H4831 SC, Fed 215 primer, 0.100" off the lands, muzzle velocity of 3110. Shot at 100 yards, went through five jugs, started going a bit off a straight path at jug 4, just hit the handle of the fifth milk jug, found in the berm behind the jugs. 129.9gr retained weight...

My hunting load is 46.5gr of H335 with the 180gr Accubond, loaded to 2.885" for 2735fps. It's subMOA in my M77 with a 22" barrel. Recovered weight was 146gr, 130 yards quartering towards me, went through approximately 22-23" of deer. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

As with their books, there's no pressure data, and RL17 isn't there.... Thanks for the help though! Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Hey guys, Just looking for some info on my 308. Just picked up a bunch of 190gr Nosler CC's. Lapua brass CCI BR2 primers Nosler custom competition 190gr 2.865" COAL Looking at AR-Comp and RL17, Hodgdons site has plenty of info for 190 grainers. Will be shot in a 24" 5R barrel Rem 700...

All pistol ammo and blasting AR stuff gets the basics. I might start with load dev, then switch over to mass production. In the beginning, I didn't have a charge master, which replaced powder throws, almost as quick. Pistol stuff just gets stuffed in the case. I'm not a good enough of a pistol...

I get a lot of new people shooting, here are some loads starting with one you've requested. 52gr Sierra hpbt 25.8gr Varmint PP 2.260 COAL 50gr ZMax 28.0gr CFE223 2.262" 40gr Nos Varmageddon HP 22.0 IMR 4198 1.905 to ogive. COAL is all over the place with the tips, if you only use coal, right...

I've used the Frankford Arsenal kit for quite some time now and can't really tell you how much brass I've cleaned, about half a Lemishine bottle worth. I absolutely love it. I use their magnet and dryer oven also, but I'm sure a cheap harbor freight dehydrator would work just as well to dry the...

With 150gr Scirocco II's, I'm getting 8.7 for an ES with 4831sc and a velocity of 3110. I was getting under 5 with RL23 and 180gr ELDS. All stuff you aren't asking about, I know the 7 Rem Mag is very capable of low spreads as you know as well. I've always used a stiff load of RL22 with 160...

Do you use the same components with different powders and get normal ES? I only have one can powder, 5 pounds of 700x, generally only load it in 38/357 and some cast 9mm, so I don't check velocity. They have a pretty consistent feel in the hand, and with my smaller 9mm pistols have a pretty...

I would have picked at least one up, I love my 338 feds. I'm looking at either building another in a short Savage package or going up to 358 for cast shooting. Neither would disappoint. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

Tried 66-67gr. 66.0 looked pretty similar to the last test, 66.5 opened up and then bam, 67.0. I'm going to take it another day to the range, and if it repeats, chrono it and load up a few boxes for hunting season and call it a day. Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

I'm working with H4831 right now with the 150 Swift Scirocco II, going to do some testing in the 66-67.5 level here right off, 63 entered one hole but we're only going 2925. Hopefully in the next few days going to go test them out. The 180 ELD-M was disappointing in higher velocities on water...

I think what I'll do is try 63 again, and load up 66.5 and 67 grains. If 63 repeats and neither 66.5/67 preform under 3/4", then I'll stick with my 1/4moa load and know my rifle will last a long time for a 7RM. Only thing I worry about is these are shot at 80 degrees. Hunting season is 15-45 in...

Went to the range today, had loaded up some H4831 .100" off the lands. Wanted to do a very quick down and dirty test, check velocity and see if it got anywhere close to what I was looking for. I loaded 63-66 just for velocity, three shots of each. Results were surprising. I didn't bring my...

DWH that's what I'll work towards. I'm thinking 3000 should be relatively easy with my 26" tube. 100 jump will do for sure. Once I hit 3000 I'll probably call it. As for pure copper, clean bore or slightly fouled? I've shot about 8-10 ELDs through it since 12 Scirocco shots from clean bore...

I have both H4831 and SC, so I think I'll try standard first to check case fill. I like the velocity for RL19 but I'm not sure about temp swings. I only have one pound of the 19, but it's easy to get more. Any idea how deep you had luck Mike? That's extremely useful info Tjay, thank you very...
