To make your own modified case for either the Hornady or the Stoney point O.A.L. Gauge , use a 5/16-36 tap. NOT 5/16-32.

Check out the 7mm Rouge or Rogue, not sure which spelling. I believe the parent case is the 300 win mag , with some neck & shoulder improvements . Ballistics are somewhere between the 7mm Remington magnum & the 7mm Shooting Times Westerner, closer to STW velocity with less powder, & it is...

Some may disagree as to the value of these books where a beginner is concerned , but that aside, in my opinion the two books that did more to advance my knowledge and understanding of handloading were and are " The Precision Shooting Reloading Guide" Edited by Dave Brennan 1995 and...

Thanks for the reply varberger .I checked my notes and found where I tried the 220 gr Sierra , # 2420 , SBT , or Game King. I started off @ .055" off the lands, because that is where the Barnes bullets had shot so well. The Sierra's started to tighten up when I got to .002" off the lands & in...

Thanks for the suggestion JUD , may be able to get the 170 near 3400 Fps, but in my mind the new 190 scirrocco @ 3100 to 3200 fps may be the ideal deer & or Elk bullet in the 8mm rem mag.

I've had an 8mm rem mag for around 30 years, and in that time have tried many different loads. My go to load is the Barnes 180 gr. TSX , with a B.C. of .381, seated .055" off the lands, over 81.50 grains of IMR 4831 & a remington 9 1/2 M primer. Velocity is right @ 3300 fps, with an extreme...

Bruce; My favorite load in the 8mm Rem Mag with a copper bullet is the Barnes 180 grain TSX, seated .055" off the lands in a factory Remington 700 BDL. 81.50 grains IMR 4831 & a Remington magnum primer. Velocity is right @ 3300 Fps , with extreme spreads in the teens. Sub moa accuracy.

I don't think publishing an inflated B.C.would be very good for the reputation of any bullet maker.

Any load data for 8mm Rem Mag please

Thanks for the response AZShooter. I'm going to start with 90 gr. RL33 under the Cutting Edge D59 252 gr. Bullet. I'll work up in 1 gr. increments from there , Hoping to match retumbo's accuracy, & exceed it's velocity.Looking forward to trying the RL33 in the 257 WBY as well. Thanks...

Please share your load data; 338 RUM & RL33

Has anyone tried RL33 & Cutting Edge D59 252 gr. in a 338 RUM ?

My best load to date using a cutting edge MTH D60 LD HPBT-STD .338 CAL 252 GR bullet is with 93.0 gr. retumbo , wolf lrm primer ,in a remington case. The rifle is a remington 700 .338 RUM. custom shop with a 26 inch barrel. I am getting sub moa groups with a muzzle velocity of 2861 fps. With...

Does anyone have experience with a factory 338 Remington Ultra Mag and the 300 gr. berger bullet? Are you able to load this bullet to a C.O.L. that works through the magazine, and maintain 1 moa accuracy. I am looking for a load development starting point. How far are you seating this bullet off...

Does anyone have or know of a factory produced out of the box 7mm rifle that shoots the berger 7mm 168 gr vld hunting bullet well.Which factory rifle , magnum or otherwise, is chambered and barreled to best match this particular bullet ?
