Hello again folks.
I have lucked into a secondhand Vanguard S1 in 338WM. Comes with dies, cases, and some bullets.
The bullets are the 225 SST variety. I intend to give them a run with H4350/Ar2209. I won't be chasing top speeds, mainly a good accurate load that I can shoot out to about 300y. Should be the goods on the pigs. Overkill of course but the main purpose of the rifle is to go after sambar deer which can be found not too far from my new home. Maybe water buffalo at some stage as well.
Any experience with this combo?
I may ultimately try the 225 AccuBond too. With the AB I might well chase a little more velocity than with the SST. I feel a bonded bullet would be prudent on the buffalo.
If anyone felt inclined to run a Quickload on 225g bullets with Ar2209/H4350 I would be most grateful.
