Ramshot Big Game?

jmad_81 · Apr 6, 2009

Just wondering if anybody here is using any and what they think about it. I have been using Big Game in my 375 Ruger with 260 gr. AB and am very happy with it. I tried some in my 22-250 this mornig with some 50 gr. BT and with a full 40.5 gr. I got five in about .75". Going to do some more playing with it to try to get it a bit better, but looks promissing. I also loaded some 120 gr. BT up in my wifes 7mm-08 to try but havn't got to shoot it yet. Hoping for this evening.

Just wondering if anybody else has had any luck with it, or not? Is it very sensitive to temp changes?

Thanks.

I've never used Big Game but I do use Magnum. It gives great velocity and single digit ES and SD with my 338 edge AI.

I have some Big Game when my 375 Ruger gets here I plan on trying it too along with RL 15 and H 4350 I have high hopes for the 260 gr Accubonds . What kind of velocity do you get with the 260 gr AB's?Nosler's data looks good.

So far I have tried it in the 30-06 and 260 Rem, with bullets 150 gr and under it does well in the 30-06 I like a slower powder in the 260 and heavier '06 loads.

I've used Big Game in several of my rifles. It works especially well in my 325 WSM with a 200 grain Nosler PT.

thanks guys.

Gerry I am using 81.5 gr. of big game with the 260 AB and it shoots under .75" more than not. I'm getting 2280 with it and it doesn't seem to be to hott. It is warm but not hurting anything.

I switched to Big Game in my 22-250. I get consistant .5" groups. I shoot the 55 gr. #1365 Sierra SBT Game King.

I played with it in my 22-250 yesterday and it shot pretty good but the load that shot good was giving me a bit of heavy bolt lift. I'm going to do some more playing this week and hopfully get it dialed. Was shooting 40.5 Gr. Big Game, 50 Gr. BT, win. brass, and fed 210M primers.
