[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1253536, member: 13833"] I thought this might flush you out of the timber!:D Good to hear from you. I am WELL along with the build. I have all the parts and will have a reamer and dies by the end of Dec. I usually get flack on my predicted velocities, but so far they have been pretty close. I do think that I will be right at the capacity to use RL26, and if that is true, I expect to be EASILY in the 2700's with a 250 Berger and 2800 would not surprise me. I should also be able to break 3100' with a 200 grainer. I know this is WM performance, plus a little, but the Sherman will have a better throat than the WM and better utilize the capacity which will be around 78 grs. with Norma brass. I am also going to try the tough RWS brass even though it usually has slightly less capacity. The coal will be approx. 3.565" to the lands. You can pm me for a Phone# if you want to call. I am REALLY excited about this one and I pretty much guarantee the performance will surprise some people........Rich p.s. RL26 is dense and short grained. I will be able to load around 68 grains behind the 250. BTW, Krieger does not make a 4 groove in the 338 but a 5r. I have a 5r Bart 3b for my build. Let me know right away if you want dies ordered and I MIGHT be able to add them to my 338 order. If not, it would only be a couple months anyway. [/QUOTE]
