Nice! Can't wait to try them beasts!

 

[shoots_5]

Just ordered a box, should be here on the 20th....can't wait to run them through the .338LM!!! Any guesses on how many milk jugs it will plow through? I will likely find out as I want see one mushroomed out up close and personal.

Man, today has been a very good day!

 

[joelkdouglas]

I would put the over / under at 6 jugs.

Same as the 200-grain .308 from a 300 WSM. I don't think the extra 100 grains will result in more penetration. I will be interested in the results.

What say you? More or less than 6 jugs?

 

[shoots_5]

I'm going to say it will be found in the 7th jug....

How much lag time do you think there will be for Nosler to publish some load data on this bullet? When I wrote them after they announced the bullet I inquired about load data and was told they would have that available after the bullet was released....

 

[muleman]

My money is on the 7th and 8th jug.

I'm guessing number eight... depending on impact velocity. Shoot one of those bad boys out of a .338 Federal!

 

[gerry]

Looking forward to seeing the results of your bullet tests, someones got to do it soon This bullet will make the 338 so much more versatile than it is already. I'm going to say 7-8 jugs from a 338 WM.

 

[shoots_5]

When I test them it will be from a .338 Lapua mag at around 2700-2750fps.

 

[FOTIS]

Guess they are out

 

[Woodycreek]

I'm going with 8 jugs also.

 

[SJB358]

Yeap, I am going with 8 jugs..

How 'bout we give them the nickname "Long Tom" ?

Those things have got to be one of the longest .338" bullets avail... Am I reading the Nosler chart correctly? 1.75" long bullets? :shock:

 

[bullet]

I am happy for you 338 cartridge guys, this will be a beast. I sure wish they would get the 200gr .358 AccuBond to the market, I have been waiting.

I am actually going to give them a shot in the 338WM when I can get them. Might not get em going fast, but they should be fun to shoot! I love the 275gr bullets and the 300's have gotta be fun too..

 

[JD338]

I am thinking 8 jugs as well from the 338 RUM.
27" penetration in ballestic gel

Thanks JD, this slug is making me think about ditching my 375 Ruger for a 338 WM :lol: Come on boys lets get the load development started

Looks Good Jim!

 

[SJB358]

Wow, looks really good Jim.. Might have to order some. Just might have a chance to monkey with them before I gotta go! It is going to be a long Summer watching you guys shoot em all up on me!
