[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1473729, member: 65338"] I have had a 338-375 Ruger a long time now. Killed many deer and bull elk with it. My original load was using 76gr H4350 behind the 250gr Berger with 2930 fps in a 1 in 10" twist, 26" barrel. I have since switched to RL16 and am running 76.5gr with 2980 fps. Can run it up to 77gr @ 2995 fps before I start stressing my Hornady brass primer pockets. (Again, that's in a 26" barrel) In a 30" barrel like your rifle, and with good brass, I'm sure RL16 will get you well over 3000 fps using a 250gr bullet. Start at 75.5gr RL16 and work up just to be safe. [/QUOTE]
