[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 118162, member: 10"] BD408, I have no idea where US869 would top out with max loads. Really have no desire to see. I kwow the big girl will do 3500 fps with max loads but there is no real need to. Using your same fireforming load in Black Sunshine in formed cases gets me basically 3450 fps with the long barrel. I have to clean her every 25 rounds or so to keep the powder fouling cleaned up but I clean that often anyway so this is not a big deal. When I get my lightweight 338 build bere soon I hope I will see what I can get with upper end pressure loads. For Black Sunshine though, low pressure and long barrel adds up to high velocity and easy shooting so I am happy with this load. I am amazed with your results shooting your 338 Sniper Tac at long range and the lack of any vertical stringing without sorting your bullets. I am getting just about the exact opposite results that you are, no horizontal variation at all, well, well under 1/2 moa even at 2000 yards but at times some vertical stringing. Velocities are holding tight so I suspect after I get some bullets sorted this issue will be a thing of the past. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
