[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2430266, member: 11960"] I still have one of my 338/375s. I'm shooting an 18" barreled specialty pistol, but my loads track right there with everyone else. My go-to load for years has been a 250gr SMK and 76.5gr of H4350 at about 2650 from the 18" barrel. The same charge weight of H100v will gain about 75fps of velocity and Reloader 26 gains about the same amount. Neither powder has been as accurate though. The 76.5gr H4350 load isn't very heavy but shoots .5 MOA out to around 700 yards and stays sub MOA out to 1200 yards.. I use the same charge of H4350 with a 260gr Hammer Hunter (2660fps) for hunting. I shot the 230gr ELDx at 2860fps, but I'll need to dig up my data on which powder that was. I pushed the 285gr ELDm to 2750fps from the 18" barrel with Reloader 26 but never got the accuracy I wanted. I've had 4 different barrels of different lengths so far and they've all been easy to tune and came pretty close to matching the 338 RUM when both cases are loaded to similar levels. [/QUOTE]
