1st post here! Be nice!
Thought it might be useful to have one thread where folks can post up the load data/recipes that worked for them, and maybe even a range target(paper,steel,rock,jug etc) of their results.
I'll put it out there first that load data is an individual decision/responsibility, and specific and unique to the rifle, shooter, and that specific lot of components. No one but yourself should be more interested in your own personal safety than you, and those that shoot/hunt with you! Don't do something stupid, and expect to blame anyone but yourself!
I hope to be posting data for the following rifles once I'm back here in a month or two-
Rem 700, 10 twist 29.5" Hart, 338 Edge
Weatherby Mark V, 10 twist 26" Brux, 338 Lapua
Weatherby Mark V, 9.8 twist 28" Brux, 338 Lapua Ackely Improved
If you do have some load data/insight to share, please include:
Barrel mfg (if not factory)
Barrel length
Twist
Chambering
Primer
Powder
COAL / distance from lands
MV
*If you've got a downrange velocity to share, or any drop data at distance, bonus! I'm very interested in seeing if the published .720 BC is realized
I'm thinking my 300 gr SMK/Berger data might be a good place to "edge up" to during load development...so if any of you shoot those, and have a comparison of where you ended up with the 300 NABs, that might be usefull stuff too.
Thanks in advance for all those that contribute to the thread. I'll be sure to post back with my results as well.
If this post broke any rules, square me away! Thanks!
