[QUOTE="Silvertip93, post: 2942649, member: 127947"] I have a 338 RCM built on a Montana Rifle Company 1999 Action with a 27" Krieger 1/10 twist barrel it shoots very nice and is a pretty impressive cartridge for a compact magnum. I setup it with a 10 MOA rail and a Zeiss Conquest v4 6-24×50. I've been shooting the hornady superformance 200 grain SST ammo and am getting a average 3059 fps from the 27" barrel. unfortunately ammo is getting hard to find and getting very expensive and hornady even discontinued the 200 grain loads. So I'm gonna have to start reloading for it and develop a few good loads for it and am looking forward to seeing what I can get from a 338 RCM out of a 27" barrel I have not found much information on the 338 RCM and am looking for anyone who has some experience with reloading for the 338 RCM I'm thinking I would like to see what I can get for Speed and accuracy from a 185 grain bullet my goal is to try and stay right at or over 3000 fps with at 185 to 200 grain bullet I think its very possible with the 27" barrel. Does anyone have any load data that they have tried and found works well for the 338 RCM shooting a longer barrel ? [/QUOTE]
