    TC Encore 338 federal

    I want a 338Fed barrel for my Encore Pistol. I currently have 223/257R/308win/454Casull. The 338Fed are very hard to find. I am even thinking about getting a rifle barrel and cutting it down.

    no. Do not lube the necks when seating bullets

    Compressed loads

    I shoot quite a few compressed loads and find them to be very accurate and fast. I use hunting bullets since I load for hunting.

    New to reloading

    I found I did not need to do anything to the fully prepped Nosler brass. Just prime /charge and seat the bullet. But that is just me and I get excellent accuracy. The FPS with Nosler is a bit less that with Weatherby/Rem/Win/Fed brass and I get a bit more with Hornady brass. I figure the Nosler...

    The Awesome Lee Loader

    That is what I started loading 12ga shells with in grammar school. It did the job. I would also say "awesome" and "lee loader" of any type do not belong in the same sentence :)

    Hornady has back pedaled on the mandate. Now they say not enforcing it.

    123 Absolute Hammer 6.5 Bee

    I must be missing something. I understand about the bullets. However there are still pressures on the brass that cannot be that much lower than with other bullets. The FPS are higher using the same pressures---right??

    123 Absolute Hammer 6.5 Bee

    honest question---Why do you think the brass will last "forever" with that bullet combo?

    swift manual

    about the bullet jump.---I had a hard time(like could not) getting the Sirocco bullets to group in a number of different calibers/cartridges. After talking to them at the SCI convention I came home and set them deeper by quite a bit. All of a sudden I get small groups with them. Please note I...

    swift manual

    Just give them lots of bullet jump for best accuracy. Learned this from Swift at the SCI show and it works especially with the Sirocco bullets

    How many 338 Federal shooters here?

    I have a 338Fed rifle and use 160gr TTSX Handloads in it. I am in a state where we must use non-lead bullets and the TTSX group great. Win mag primer, 50grs of IMR8208XBR for 2906FPS and SD7 in a short 20" barrel. I like the idea of larger frontal area to start with over smaller calibers

    Magnum primers in standard cartridges

    I just load them up. I use mag primers for all my loading. Never had a problem and use a lot of max loads in many different cartridges

    Can someone run a quick load for me?

    If that is what you need those must be some tough turkeys :)

    Tell Nosler they are idiots! Everyday... on this site!

    I just have to laugh at morons like him who think lack of planning on their part becomes and emergency on my or others parts. Learn to plan ahead and you will not have a problem with supplies.

    I have been replacing my Varri X-II and VX2(also one VX1) scopes with VX3i scopes and have been happy.

    Nosler 30 cal 180 BT vs 165 BT

    I always used 150gr PAR in my 308win/30-06/300win mag with great results on deer/pigs and pronghorn. Now I am required to use non-lead in Calif so I use 130-150gr Barnes TTSX and get good results. Never saw a need for anything heavier than 150gr.
