Will do! It takes me a while between range trips. Fireforming loads showed great accuracy, so I am hopeful. Oh, and I rechambered a 338WM using the .312FB reamer, so very interested in your results as well! Amazing looking rifle you have.

My 230 ELDx speeds match yours…So far I’ve only tested with R26 out of my 24”bbl 33SM but here is what I have. I have only done one session of ladder testing and my chrono died, so data is spotty. I did not hit pressure signs with any of these and plan to test higher charges. My COAL is 3.610...

Sorry, I’m using Peterson. No complaints with it tho.

Congrats! Glad to hear everyone was able to enjoy a harvest.

The 33SM won't hold 100grains of powder, more like mid 80s. 99gr H2O with no bullet. But to your point, 338 is a big bore and that is a large part of the barrel life equation. With proper cleaning and shooting, I'd say 1500-2000 rounds is safe with this round. 338 Win Mag (70gr powder) guys...

I wish I had so something to add… I’ve got 225 CE MTH, 230 ELDx, and 270ELDx loaded for ladder testing. All with R26. It will be a Christmas miracle if life gives me a chance to test them before gifts get unwrapped. this was my first true wildcat and Fireforming set me back a bit, but I’ve...

Does anyone shoot the CE .338 cal 252gr MTH? I am looking for the boat tail length and bearing surface length. I have the 225s and understand it is a BR design. Just looking for specs before I buy some. They only list OAL and “projection length.” thanks and hope all have a great Thanks giving!

Cutting Edge Bullets has a decent BF sale just started

Hodgdon did drop the H414 line, but is still selling it as Win760. You can check every loading manual out there, they are the same powder. Unfortunately, it shows out of stock for Win760 right now, but H414 isn’t even listed on website anymore. but to the OP, I have always subscribed to the...

CB, its been many years since I hunted the GW national forest near you, but I took the liberty to check out your suggested area on OnX. I like a couple things about the spot in my screen shot. It’s near a subtle funnel, it’s near 2 vastly different undergrowth types looking at the imagery...

It took me a while, but I seem to have figured it out. I couldn’t isolate one issue so I basically did what everyone here suggested. I broke the bolt down(not my first time, but WTH) and ultrasonic cleaned, then re-lubed. Pin protrusion was fine. I removed the ejector completely for...

Can’t attach pic for some reason…

I think that is very common performance for CCI std at 100yds. This is my factory BMR carbon with CCI std velocity at 100yds in a 10 gusting to 17mph wind. But that was my best group of 5 last week In those conditions. I definitely don’t think the CCI std is all that consistent, but better...

I was in your shoes a couple years ago with a factory 243 Win and a 10 twist. Savage 10. I went with a 1:8, 25”(just because I could) barrel. I have no regrets launching my stockpile of 105Amax at 3100fps. The largest game I have shot with it is whitetail and axis at 50 to 550yds. Now that...
