How bout it Nosler

[OU812]

300 grain AccuBond in the 338 caliber. Lots of big 338 calibers out there screaming for 300 grain hunting bullet.

Lets see, a 300 gr AB at 3000 fps, 6000 fpe and a .7 BC would WOW anything on the planet. And it wouldn't be longer than the Sierra SMK which will stabilize in a 1:10 twist. Nosler, you would own the LRH market! :wink:

Boy Howdy would they own it.

 

[nomosendero]

Yea, but if they do that I would have to have a big 338 built & then an expensive scope!! :shock:

Folks whinge about the recoil of the .338 Mag now, I remember the 285 gr loads when it came out. Those really did have some recoil. I imagine the larger capacity .338s would be fierce with a 300 gr bullet.

I expect it would be too much of a good thing.

WOW!!! Now that would be a fun load to shoot and mess around with.

Damn right it would. With Noslers rep for having one of the best if not the very best hunting bullets around they would corner the market. IMO good 300 grain 338 caliber hunting bullets currently don't exist although there are some who try. Nosler could easily change that.

I agree. I have no interest in a 338 magnum let alone heavier harder kicking loads in one.

Can never have too much of a good thing! :wink:

You would just have to check the remaining balance on you dental plan before you go to the range.

Lets see, a 300 gr AB... Nosler, you would own the LRH market! :wink:

JD338

LRH is NOT done with an 8 pound rifle. Bring the weight up to 12 to 15 + pounds and the recoil would get your attention but would not hurt you too bad. :shock:

ETA: Come on Bob, give Ray Weller a 300 grainer!

My LRH rifle (338AX) will weigh around 10 lbs scoped and my 338-378 was about the same, I believe either of these rounds qualify for LRH or some long range shooting. Can't know any reason to need a 12-15+ lb rifle in either of these calibers to shoot a 300 grain bullet. Seems just right for a 300 grain bullet. Now a 338 AM with a 300 grain bullets would be a different story, don't think 12-15 would be enough weight.

I think we agree for the most part. A 338 Lapua, Ultra or EDGE rifle firing a 300g bullet at 3000-3200 fps SHOULD not be a carry rifle. It WOULD kick the snot out of most including me (I'm a wuss). Higher rifle weight, a rest or bench and a break are the easiest ways to tame it. BTW, I consider LR as 600+ yards. YMMV.

My point is I know I have my bases covered now, but a new toywould be fun & my Wife is too good at recognizing my weapons.

I agree.
In fact, the 338 O'Brien, (338-300 RUM AI) shoots a 250 gr PT at 3200 fps.
Recoil in a 10 lb rifle is around 65 ft lbs recoil, getting it into the exzilerating level.
600 yds is long range, the wind can have more of an effect than drop.

Shawn Carlock builds a 10.1 lb rifle in the edge. According to the load data he has on his web site only 1 load goes over 2900 with a 300 grain bullet with a 30 inch barrel. While I agree with the heavier the rifle the more comfortable it would be to shoot or with a brake but a 10lb rifle launching 300 grain bullets would not be untolerable, for me any ways, however YMMV. If Nosler ever makes a 300 grain AccuBond I'll find out how much felt recoil my gun has while driving one.
