[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1208439, member: 2011"] I finally got the 338 test rig set up and determined a powder charge of 50 BMG of 102 grains behind 300 Bergers and SMKs. This prior to loading some of the 338 Hammers. (Not about to waste Hammers doing pressure tests.) This will happen in the next day or so. As the Hammers take up a bit more room in the case than other 300 class bullets, I'll probably be switching to RL-33, Retumbo, H-1000 etc. Turns out the barrel I'll be using is also a 9 twist. Should be interesting. I'm at 4488 ASL and right around 25.5"Hg. I'll zero the rifle at 300 then move out from there. I put a 395 HH into my bullet catch at 1126 yards. Man was I ever shocked when I went out there to dig the bullet out of the media. I'm about to post those results on the 375 Hammer Hunter thread. [/QUOTE]
