While I was checking my zero for opening day next Saturday. I was looking at my target through the scope when it became obscured....

Winchester M88's in 358 are an incredible combination of rifle and cartridge. The only 358 downside is that all M88 barrels share the same contour, so the barrel heats up rapidly when you're at the range testing loads. I have a hunting grade M88 in 308 that I plan to have re-bored to 338-08/338...

I guess I should have clearly stated that the powder discussed was RL-22.

My 338 has a long throat, so my COL is 3.508" 72 gr. gives me 2650 fps I've loaded well above that just to see if there was an accuracy node to be had. I stopped at 75 gr. which did 2760 fps, but was too hot for use.

Exactly the same load in use to push 250 gr. NAB in my rifles.

I have pre-64 Winchester 88s in every factory caliber. The triggers aren't the greatest, but they instinctively point like shotgun. Perfect for hunting in cover where quick shots are needed.

I'm giving Lil' Gun a try in my 256 rifles to see how it compares to WW296. I'm fortunate that I have a scad of 25-20/256 bullets to work with.

Here's my concluding post. On my last trip to the range I tried 26.0 and 27.0 gr. of Unique with the same 120 gr. Hornady SSP bullet. 26.0 gr. 2349 fps. 27.0 gr. 2398 fps. The goal was effectively achieved and accuracy at 50 yards was better than I expected.

I think he asked Glen Campbell for guitar lessons and they became friends. Yes, Glen was that good.

I looked at Blue Dot, but it used more powder than the Unique loads and was below 50% of the case volume. I used 13 gr. of Blue Dot and a 60 gr. Hornady SP in my 223 to fill my freezer a couple years ago.

I live in a rural area outside of Eugene with a such a huge excess of does that ODFW has a controlled hunt for the area. I try to limit the noise when putting meat into the freezer combined with a need for a DRT shot placement, which has lead to some interesting hunting loads over the years. My...

What??? They didn't call a bear negotiator to determine what lead them to break into the house and give them a fuzzy toy to defuse the situation.

I stopped by the Albany Sportsman's Warehouse on Sunday as their website shows a bunch of different primers as being available There are no primers at the store and they haven't had any for some time, per the gun counter staff. They tried to pawn if off as an error with the inventory software...

An answer looking for a problem....

Thanks Mike. I have the final piece of information to compare QL and GRT to the actual data from my rifle.

I'm in need of some 224 Valkyre QL data using IMR 8208 in a 20" 1/6.5 twist launching 80 gr. Berger VLD bullets at magazine length. Much appreciated. John

Not much of a count, but I have fun hunting even if I don't bring anything home. 338 WM in the coastal forest of Oregon Coast. 280 AI on the high altitude grass prairies of NE Oregon.

GRT predicts 13.0 gr of H110 resulting in 1800 fps @ 25kpsi
