250 accubond load fo 338 Edge

[hegster]

Has anyone been loading this for there 338 Edge? If so what kind of results and what powder/primer combo. I have been using the 300gn SMK but cant find any. Midway is backorderd untill march 19!!! so looking for some alternate loads untill then.

Any help is appriciated.

I'm in the same boat as you on the 300 smk's. I'm thinking of trying the Hornady 250g Match HPBT, but it will be a few weeks before I get back to the range.

I'll be sure to share any load information as applicable.

Put me in that same boat for not finding 300g SMK's.

I also want to find a load with the 250g AB. I know it wont be "as good" as the 300g SMK, but it will still work to 1K and thats really all the farther I need to be shooting anyways. Plus, you can always find AB's.

H-1000 still the powder of choice for 250g bullets?? Should we go with something a little faster burning such as RL-22 or???

I tried these four with the 250 AB and all were accurate. H-1000, Reloader 25, 7828 and magpro. I just quit working with the 250 and went with the 225 because the BC/velocity ratio was much better. If you need some 300 matchkings I just got in a thousand a couple months ago. I would sell some of those if anyone needs some. They are bulk packaged in one box. I would have to count them out. You can have them at my dealer price and pay the shipping.

Do you shoot a 338 EDGE or 338-300??

Just curious on your bbl length and velocity your getting with your 225g loads.

I am currently using 300g SMK's, 92g H-1000, 2840fps, from a 338 EDGE w/28" Hart

Whats your favorite loads with the 225g AB??

The 338 Edge and the 338/300 is the same thing. I also shoot 92 grains of H-1000 behind the 300 SMK and I get 2791 FPS.

With the 250 SMK I have ran them to 3189 FPS with 98 grains of H-1000 and to 3197 with 95 grains of R-25

[remingtonman_25_06]

So I should be able to reach say about 3300fps with 225g bullets??

I knew the 338-300 and 338 EDGE were the same thing, I just thought I saw where LTLR had about 15 different .338 cals, so I was just seeing if he had something relatively close to the capacity of the EDGE was all.

JWP- You tried anything smaller then 250g?? Any 225's?
