Re: 338 lm loads
I have only shot this gun at 100, 300, and a 1000 yds and today I went by my clicks I got off the calculator from this website, no joke I hit in a 5 inch circle out to 600 yds and made it a liitle bigger at seven and a little bigger each time out to a 1000 and sure enough hit in the circle until I got to 1000 the clicks says 119 and it was 12 inches low I moved it 4 clicks up and nailed a inch thick piece of metal bout foot and a half by 2 foot.

91.5 gr H1000 for me with 300 gr Bergers. 91.0 gr with 300 SMK's. These are fairly hot in my rifle, but my best acuracy was at 92 gr (too hot). I had inconsistent results with RE25. Bergers cut 0.25" off of my groups over SMKs.

Re: 338 lm loads
Its a 26 inch fluted shilen with a mcmillian stock stiller action and timney trigger. I thought I had it figured out but I only could make the deer dance a little this evening at 875 yds.

27 " Bartlein Barrel, 1:10 twist 5R, chambered by GA Precision, min spec chamber. Rifle is a Sako TRG-s. Velocity is 2825 fps.
I practice out to 1000 yards. Groups average between 4" and 12" at 1K and sub 0.60" at 100. Filled my general Elk tag at 878 yards this year.
