Well, I have shot nearly 200 rounds thru that aforementioned 338WM. (100) 225-grain Nosler AccuBonds and (85) 210-grain Nosler Partions. I've shot both Peterson and Premium Nosler brass. I've ran 8 difficult powders, 2 different magnum primers, different powder charges with each powder, and a...
This is my private little rifle range. Reckon how many rifle balls it took to shoot all these big oak and sweet gum trees down? There's multiple trees on the dirt including two that would have been hard if not impossible for me to reach around. I've been shooting at this particular place for 6...
I have had single digit extreme spreads and standard deviations with this 338 and several different powders and powder charges. Is than normal with this caliber? Ive never loaded anything close to these type numbers before. However, sadly, 63 grains of H380 underneath a 225 grain AccuBond at an...
I tried that to no avail so I reluctantly had to take it to a gunsmith. Watching the gunsmith heat my pristine 1992 Browning Bar 338 to the point that smoke was boiling out of causing me to have flashbacks from my firefighter days. There's NO WAY IM HƐLL that I could have done that to my gun. At...
It's FUNNY seeing "Beginner" under my name when I've been reloading years longer than some of the guys on this forum has been alive, lol. Yeah, I know that it means "Beginner" to this forum.
Anyway, I finally popped my 🍒. It's officially official now. I'm a 338 WM virgin no more. I have got a...
I killed my 1st one at age 11. It was a Sunday morning. The dogs were BOILING and coming straight to and old county road at the corner of a dirt road. My dad dropped me off from his 1973 2WD stepside Chevy truck with an Remington 870 loaded with Remington 2¾" 9 pellet 00 Buck. He made the left...
I've killed countless deer with everything to 222 Rem up to 375 H&H magnum. However, this fall with be the 1st time that I ever drop one with a 338. Hear in Bama we can kill 2 does per day and 3 bucks per season. Counting my crop damage permit hunting during the late 80s thru the 90s I've killed...
Thank Thank you. Is it possible to fire form 338s from 7mm brass while using my new BAR & 15 or 20 grains of BD, Cream of Wheat to the bottom of the case neck, then a wax cap filling the neck?
Thank you. I've always dreamed of shooting elk, moose, and especially grizzlies. Unfortunately we just don't see that many of those critters in SE Alabama.
I have two 1996 Bar II Safari Grade one in 270 win & one in 7mm magnum. I've hunted almost exclusively with BARs since 1996. I just bought a 1992 Bar I 338 Winchester magnum off GB the other day. Delivery date is Monday 07/06/26 at my uncles little local gun shop. It's nice having an uncle who's...
I have multiple reloading manuals including the newest Nosler book. I was just curious if anyone had any recommendations for loads for a Browning Bar. I sub 1½" groups with both my Bar IIs without a whole lot of effort. If I hunted summers that I could regularly shoot 300 400 500 yards I'd be...
I'll have my "new" Browning Bar 338 Win Mag this coming Monday 6/06/26.
ANY PET LOADS OR RECOMMENDATIONS OF WHERE TO START?
I have (100) new Peterson brass, WLRM as well as Magnum Remington primers. I'll be using the WLRM to start with. I have (100) 225 Nosler AccuBonds and (250) 210 NP...
Scott Spencer, I too am in Alabama and I too just purchased a 338 Winchester Magnum but mines a 1992 Browning Bar. I already had a Ziess Conquest 3x9x40 that I intend to put on top of it. I have reloaded since 1989 and I have loaded THOUSANDS of shotgun shells, pistol rounds, and dozens of...
Thanks for the info. Luckily, I bought of the 500 .22 cal 64 grain bullets. I already had enough in .27 & .28 cal to last me the rest of my life. Anyway, they keyhole through my 22.250. My 1st test batch through my AR using Varget were TERRIBLE!!! MOA was like this. Top right, middle left, lower...
