A 175-185 gr would be great I think in the 338-06AI. Guess I better order some 210 HHT for the 338 RUM.

I’d be interested in what you find. I stop in Winnipeg at the biggest store every once and awhile. Never much for bourbon, but sometimes a decent selection of scotch. I’ve never even seen Rare Breed on the shelves here. I’m very close to the states so I shop when I’m down there.

That’s quite the haul! Don’t think I’ll ever see any of those bottles in Canada.

Thanks Lance. I’m Kinda technology challenged!

Try a google search of Sherman wildcats. I believe there is a load data page. I haven’t used the site in a long time, so I’m unsure if it’s still there. Just be sure to look up the right data. Lots of variations of 6.5 Sherman. You want the original based off the 270 Win.

Forgot to add in my post #6 above that the bullet used was a 140 VLDH. I found N570 worked good in the 6.5 Sherman. Only load I really used. Barrel is done now and making it into a 338-06AI for something different. Have you looked at the load data on Sherman wildcats page? Should be some...

I used N570 in my 6.5 Sherman with a 28” Hart. Got me 3339 FPS.

My 338 RUM came in at 10 lbs with no ammo or sling. TiPro brake really tames the recoil.

The faster twist will also give you the option to shoot some all copper bullets. The heavier options require much faster twist because of the length of these bullets.

I have a 23” barrel 338 RUM. I was a little hesitant to try any “heavier” in it. Maybe I should give some 230+ gr bullets a try. Running the 200 gr Apex Afterburner at 3200 FPS right now with R26. Waiting on the 210 hammer HHT to be released.

H100V worked good in my 280 AI with a 23” barrel. It’s shooting the 140 AH at 3300 FPS.

For me it would of been my 22-284. 80 gr Berger’s at 35-3600 FPS.

Hammer 338 HHT is in testing right now. It is 210 gr. Apex Afterburners offers a 200 gr. I’ve shot the afterburner in my 23” 338 RUM at 3200 FPS with R26.

You won’t be disappointed with the 6.5x47. I have two of them. One heavy for practice and a light one for tree stand and stalking. I’m not what I’d call recoil sensitive. My problem is some days the recoil hurts my mid back. I run breaks on almost every rifle from 6 Dasher to 338 RUM.

I have a 22” barrel Dasher. Not exactly light though. I’ve actually never weighed it. Just bought some 75 HHT to try in it. It shoots the 103 ELDX and 105 Berger VLDH very good with Varget or H4350. Got some Benchmark to try with the 75 HHT. Be sure to get a M5 inlet to use mags so it feeds...
