Took out the 460 and 257 Bees and my #1 in 338 Win mag.

Long story long.

The 460 lobbed the 350 TSX at 2855 fps with a group of .9" at 100.

The 257 Bee did 110 accubonds at 3450 at .6" at 100 yds.

The 338 sent the 210 NP at 2965 fps and .9" and the 215 Sierras at 2980 fps at 1" even.

Not too bad.

I like the 338 so much i am selling my 350 rem mag in the classifieds. I will never use it.
 
Not bad at all. Each of those rifles is shooting very well for you. You've certainly got the loads worked out.
 
Damn! I was kind of hoping to see that 338 WM in the classifieds sometime. That thing looks so nice.

Nice work!
 
Fotis,

Those are some excellent range results!

Weren't there winds gusting to 75 mph there just the other day?

I still miss being stationed at F.E. Warren.
 
I thought you sold that .350 Mag a long time ago, Fotis---and that I had missed the sale! In fact, that was when I went ahead started shopping for a rifle in .35 Whelen and ended up with an econo-custom 98 Mauser. No heatburn here, though...I just got back from the range with it and in shot the 225-grain AccuBond at about 2675 fps into a little less than 3/4-inch, Adams & Bennett barrel and all. What do I have to complain about??? :mrgreen:
 
Sounds like a good day at the range.

"The 460 lobbed the 350 TSX at 2855 fps" FWIW - That there sir is not lobbing...

Those three rifles should cover the gamut of animals one would encounter anywhere.

YUP they were.

Cheyenne, WY. If you do not like the weather, wait a minute!
 
Speaking of weather check out this morning's sky!
