M70 Alaskan 210 PTs /RL19

[SJB358]

Not being able to leave well enough alone, I had hunted with the 210 PTs a few years back and love the performance but the accuracy as so so. Figured I was able to get the 200 ABs to tighten up so I decided to try it a little with the 210 PTs. I have measured everything with the .338 comparator so that's why the lengths look a little long.







Still not exactly what I'm looking for but I loaded up another series shortening them .010" or about a 1/4 turn each time. I'd be ecstatic to see that 3rd round come into the other two. Seems like they are being jumped a bunch right now so it may be in vain but I hate stopping when I think I'm close.

Scotty go for it, if nothing else it's fun to burn powder besides I like the challenge which I'm sure you do also.

Certainly isn't going to hurt to try but those loads look plenty accurate as they stand.

I hear you Bill. I've already taken a spiker on Mt Emily at 400 plus yards but I'd just like to see it tighten up a little. Not that it won't hunt fine as is, but, well, I'm just making excuses to shoot and I love my 338, so I need a reason to shoot it a little more often....

 

[OU812]

Any reason to get out and shoot is a good reason . I have no doubts you will get it tighter since that is your goal.

 

[SJB358]

I think this is about as good as I'm going to get without messing around with primers and the powder charges.



I'm pretty sure I can live with that.

As I went deeper the groups starting getting larger. Now I have to decide what I'm going to run this Fall.... Decisions. :grin:

Oh and the hole thru the written numbers was my partners muzzleloader.... Danged shooting partners anyhow!

...iffn you had a .325 WSM, you wouldn't be wondering... :roll: :twisted: :lol: :mrgreen:

Scotty,

Nice work. Go with the 210 gr PT and don't look back.

Looks more than good enough to me, go forth and shoot with all the confidence in the world.

I knew you'd see this eventually... :grin:

I'm pretty happy with that. I should have a chance to run it out at distance soon. I figure I'll be able to compare the 210 to the 200 AB and let the bullets decide. Both are shooting well.
