[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2943660, member: 27307"] Lots of load data: [URL]https://shootersreference.com/reloadingdata/338-rcm-ruger-compact-magnum/[/URL] I have owned and shot the .338 RCM in several rifles built for others. A friend of mine (a gunsmith) built one for his African hunts. First hunt yielded 8 - one shot kills and one took a safety second shot. We reload although every rifle was checked with factory ammunition. Looks like most factory Hornady loads run from about $2.00/each up to the outrageous amount $4.50/each. Best of luck! ADDED: I have switched my last short action .338 RCM over to the .338 WSM cartridge. Better, easier reloading and testing. I have dropped the 185 gr. in favor of the Badlands Super BD2 200 gr. bullets. Far better ballistics: [ATTACH type="full"]509399[/ATTACH] yds/vel/ToF/drop/drift :) [/QUOTE]
