[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1002049"] I made up my first loads for the 338/26-Nosler. Neck expanded Nosler brass. CCI 250 primer Barnes TTSX 185s COAL 3.4 Reloader 17, 83grains My fps estimate was for 3180. I made up 9. It was supposed to be 10 but the botched making of the modified case cost me one for the first test. At the range I bore sighted, rechecked everything, set up the MagnetoSpeed and with a bit of nerves, pressed the trigger. No drama and that's a good thing. The chron showed 3213fps. Yeah. I threw out 6 rounds on the chon for a average of 3218, ES of 18 and an SD of 7. While chronning I worked the 100 yard zero and calculated the 300 zero. With 1 round left I struggled to find the steel at 300 yards with the Leupold VX-2 6-18. Oh, did I forget to mention, it was dark. The range has lights to 100 on night shoots but beyond that it dark. Anyway, found the steel, settled down, pressed and... Clang. [/QUOTE]
