[QUOTE="Wardog52, post: 2631653, member: 124473"] Great questions. The books are quite different from each other. I ended up going to the list max I believe in the Nosler book, 98.0 grains and working up in 1/10. I’m at 99.1 g. Of R33. No worrisome pressure signs. I started shooting 5 round groups 0.150 off the lands. I will have to review my notes to see how far off the lands the bullets are seated with the decent groups. Yes the recoil is for real! I switched over to a lead sled and put two bags of sand on it. That really helps! I also have a 300 RUM I shoot 210 VLD’s with. It is nothing compared to the .338. I would imagine the MPA chassis isn’t helping. I can still add another 5lbs of weight and a recoil pad. From this experience, it would appear the books are really low on their powder charges for R33.
