Had HCA spin me up what I hoped would be my perfect spring bear gun. Short barreled and spitting a 250g nite nite pill. What I anticipated and hoped for velocity was 2850 but no bullet/primer/powder combo got me there or at least there safely with the ability to reuse brass. I gave up on the Berger 250's and started loading with 230EldX's and N550 but not the bullet I had planned so selling to fund another 338 build. Maybe Mega???? Load feedback on that is flowing in.
Tikka T3x w/ fluted bolt
Benchmark/HCA CF @ 20"
MBM Ti Beast
Trigger spring
Whiddon dies

Also have a few boxes of the 230 EldX for buyer as an add.
Can also discuss a full rifle with either a XLR magnesium folder w/ smoke stock or MDT ESS.
Target picture is at 500y with different neck tensions (expanding and turning mandrel)
Say $2375 clear my way buyer covers shipping/ins. What's listed above is included, regardless of what shows in photos.
Cheers

Likely yes, but not sure I can achieve desired velocity on this length barrel.
There is nothing wrong with what numbers this set up produces, however for me around the 1000 yard range I feel lacking on energy.
