With the 270gr, mine liked retumbo over H1000. Touching @100m, however, soft load @2890fps. Still more work to be done here, want to take up too or around 3000fps. Had a annealing problem, got annoyed, put aside for a while gents....summer coming over here, need to get back out there......and...

@100m touching, will find pics, settled on retumbo with the 285gr. The few longerange shots i did were impressive, first round hits @ 1100m, 1200m and 1300m.

Hi, I am 6.5-284 fan, and have used it for many years as my main hunting calibre with extensive developments with various projectiles. Depending on the range and size of animail will be a deciding factor. I liked the 129 - 130gr range, however have moved to the 143 - 147 range because of the...

Past loads, I have had very good results with H1000 and 250gr Bergers. I personally found better performance achieved with 250's than 300's, each to their own. Targeted the Horn ELD range because of the high BC's and design, especially in regards to taking game at long range. The 285 load is...

Still more work to be done, groups were shot in the prone supported (harris bipod) with a butt sand sock. At the moment I have a seating problem due to the 270gr ogive, and my chamber, hence touching lands. Both the Retumbo and H1000 showed no pressure signs, could go add 1 or 2 grs with H1000...

Whats your rifle details and load?

Hi, I have a 338AI, have done testing on 285gr ELD-M’s with RL33, H1000, and Retumbo. Settled on Retumbo with very good results, however, want to look at the 270gr ELD-X’s using H1000 or Retumbo. Have you done any more testing with the 270’s?

Ray (SS), HBN, How's that going? It hasn't really taken off over here, most I know off still use moly, a couple use HBN. How many shots before cleaning? Degree of cleaning? Effect on barrel? Wet weather effects?

Nice SS, I could go out the same COL, However it will be single shots, staying within Mag length (3.85") for hunting. Mine COL 3.756" Don't get me wrong guys, I have other weapons that I use out to 1000m for hunting, my favorite is my 6.5x284 which is away getting a new shilens barrel, that I...

Thanks, 100gr R33 gave me 2780fps in mine. Curious about your Retumbo results as they are similar to mine. 97.5gr Retumbo gave me very good accuracy at 2930fps. How often did you anneal?

What make action? COL? Primers? Any pressure signs? Bolt lift?
