Quickload Request - 338 WM

[Stevesdl]

Hi People,
Missed everyone here! Looks like many of the same ole guys still around! Been 2+ years since I have been here! Had to take a little hiatus for some health reasons but I am back in the saddle for this Fall 2016 Elk season.

Anyway, went to install my quickload cd and found it cracked in half (ordered a new one) but in the mean time wondering if anyone can through a few numbers for me for the following.

338 Win Mag
225 Nosler AccuBond
Powder - IMR 4350 (New powder for this rifle)
Winchester case (Case length 2.494)
H2O capacity (fire formed) --> 87.0
Min seating depth; Base to Ogive touching LANS --> 2.796

Much appreciated if someone can throw a few stats my way.

Super thanks all
Steve

I was able to check, but can you give a current OAL length off your loaded round? I just used the program's OAL length, and 26 inch barrel, etc. Hope that helps.
