[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 1291947, member: 2567"] Timber, What is your load with the 300 and rl33? I was able to get over 2900 fps with rl 33, but the accuracy wasn't there. It was a pretty stiff compressed load and I kept checking to see if the bullets were moving out. A buddy is having a new 338 rum accurized right now and he is having a 4 inch wyatts box installed so he can keep it a repeater. With my 300 gr Berger seated to 3.800 tip to base, I am still .090 off the lands. My 300 accubonds are .020 off the lands seated to 3.720 tip to base. Both loads shoot to same point of impact and both are very accurate. I missed a 950 yard shot on a cow elk in Dec because I wanted a kill with the accubond, but I goofed and forgot to change programs on my G-7 so I hit at least a minute low, maybe more. The two bullets have a very similar flight out to about 750 yards, but after that the berger walks away. I wanted to go out and do some low temp testing of my rl33 loads, because I developed the load at 50 degrees. I don't really care about warm temps, because I don't hunt when it is hot out. I was hunting elk at about 10 degrees though and if I lost 40 fps, no big deal. [/QUOTE]
