338 SHERMAN MAX

[elkaholic]

Thanks. Where is the Sherman load data page?

Load data is under the cartridge description
on my webpage but not sure if the Max is up yet?
Doc Galan ran the 265 LRAB up past 2900' with a 28" barrel but length on the 338 Max isn't nearly as critical as a belted mag.

Ok, I've been following this thread since it started. Good elk medicine.

Sherman Wildcat Reloading Data is Here!!!

I have put together data from the many shooters that emailed/PM'd me. Here is what I have so far but I am still asking for more data to be PM'd to me so I can continue to add to this. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this. As always this data is for specific rifles and should be worked up...

Today I noticed that I hadn't finished my ladder with N560 and the 285ELDm.
Well.....
73gr yielded 2812'
74gr yielded 2852'( sticky bolt lift)
I will be focusing on working a load to hunt with using 265 LRAB. To date I've hit 2976' with H100V 71gr.
Good luck to everyone gettin' their smoke poles ready !!!!!

With time running out before my elk hunt.... I loaded RL26 &H100V with 285ELDMs and found a nice node between 66.8-67.7gr
MV on top target is 2770' and on the orange target MV 2820'(these are with H100v)
RL26 gave almost same accuracy and velocity but seemed a bit higher pressure.
Good luck to all and stay safe this season!!

Who's running 250 Elite Hunters? What's COAL?
Is H100v the best choice?
Running ladder ...... finally..... I know it's been a while and I'm not seeing speeds I was hoping.
