[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 121005, member: 2011"] [b]More on Hornady 338 250gr HPBT Match bullets[/b] Hornady's web site says they'll be along shortly. Local store in IF had two boxes. I bought one of 'em. Came home and loaded and shot 9 shots. Three at starting point to fire form cases (94.5gr RL-25). Then went to 95 grains. Still seemed to have plenty of pressure room so jumped to 96 grains (I'm still used to 06 size cases. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]) 95 grs went 2971/2940/2958 96 grs went 3000/3015/3020 and ~0.6 or so MOA @ 200. Groups improved with each powder increase. The 0.465 published BC isn't too nifty. They have a fairly long bearing surface but seem to generate less pressure than either sierra SMKs or Game Kings. They shoot better than any other 250 gr bullet I've tried. 96gr RL-25, Fed GM-215M Primers, Hornady 250 HPBT Match seated into the lands. Target @ 200 yds [img]http://www.huntingpictures.net/data/521/332Hor-Match-_-3011-med.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
