Welcome to the forum, glad to have you here!

That Ruger 1B sure is a beautiful rifle and the 338 Win Mag is a fantastic round. Let us know if you need any load data and keep us posted with your results.

Thanks for the welcome , I don't think the #1 should be any different than my bolt guns to load for or is it?

 

[JD338]

No difference. You may have to tweak the load to your rifle as all rifles are different. There is a lot of load date here for the 338 Win Mag so let us know if you need any help.

The B model is my favorite, with the V a close second.

Welcome aboard, from Wenatchee, WA.

Yes, big fan of the Number One. They hunt well. Yours looks great!

If it doesn't shoot well, there are some tips and tricks that can be applied.

#1B's are great and that chambering should be awesome! Great choice!

 

[D10T]

Not to great of shooting weather ,snowing and 20 degrees , I think the #1 might be a shooter

I think I will keep going with the re22 loads.But any advice is more than welcome

the bullets were 225 horandy interlock sp

 

[JD338]

What bullet were you shooting?

JD338

 

[D10T]

225 hornady interlocks. That was all I can find locally

 

[DrMike]

I think your No. 1 has potential. Good show in the snow.

 

[D10T]

Not to bad for loads that worked in my friends model 70 , just the bullets seated out farther
I am more than happy with this start

Try the 225 gr AB with RL 19 and IMR 4350. Seat the bullet .020" of the lands for starters.
