[QUOTE="boscodog, post: 1323607, member: 44198"] I don't want to read the prior 25 pages to find out so I hope this won't be a hijack - is anyone here testing RL33 with a standard 338 Edge? If not please point me in the right direction, if so I'd like to share my experience with it. After breaking in a 28" Bartlien barrel w/30 to 40 rounds I started load development using H1000 w/300 OTMs. I went to 92grns - 2807fps average and was hammering the brass. Went to RL33 and was completely blown away! (3.825 OAL, 0.005 off the lands) Went up to 106grns, crushing a bit, and was averaging 3009fps very slight ejector marks, bolt lift normal, ES and SD excellent. I then started testing with HBN and needed to go to 109grns to keep the same pressure. I couldn't be happier! 2015 I took a very nice bull moose at 500 yards and last year my son dropped one at just under 700 yards, bullet performance was excellent. Have a nice 4th! Tom [/QUOTE]
