240Wby

[boomer68]

Is anyone loading for the 240 at the moment? Got a whitetail hunt coming up, and thinking of taking my S2. I have some Nosler 95gr CT bullets and wondering what a good powder would be to try. I also have various 85-100gr bullets too.

Based on what I'm seeing in Nosler, I'd be looking at RL22, Magnum and 7828. I don't have or load for the 240Roy, but I've found 7828 to be exceptional for my 300Roy and does quite well in my 257Roy. Velocity is usually not a concern and accuracy runs from good to great. YMMV, of course.

I had very good success with IMR7828 behind 95 grain and 100 grain PT

I will go test velocity on my loads next time(soon) I test my .240Wea. Reloader22 and Norma MRP seems to have very identical burningrate. I use Norma MRP since american powders are hard to find over here.
My last load using Hornady 105grain A-max was 54grain MRP. No sign of overpressure. Unfortunatly(shame on me) I didn´t bring a chronograph for that rangesession.

I reload for the 240 mini Roy. I am using the 80 grain TTSX with 52.5 grains of RL 22 for a velocity of 3300 fps. I love this little round

Okay, loaded up some 95gr Nosler CT with 7828 and RL22. We shall see what this puppy can do ;-)
