SOLD/EXPIRED 338 Snipetac Brass

[wesslipka]

I'm looking for some 338 snipetac brass. Anyone know of a place to get some or willing to sell some?

Dave Viers at Black Diamond Rifles was providing brass about 2 months ago. I haven't spoken with him since.

The only contact I have for him is by email. I've tried a few times to contact him, but have been unsuccessful so far. Do you know of any other means of communication?
Thanks, Wess

Email has worked in the past, sometimes it has taken awhile to receive a reply.

Just curious but what are you running for a load? I like 138 gns of us869 for around 3200 fps with a rocky mtn 325. Sorry about that double post, I'm using my crappy phone.

Loading with Hogdgon H50, 215 Federal primers, 300 grain Bergers OTM. Velocity at 3180. Shoots a real tight pattern with consistent drop data out to 2000 yards.

 

[Loren Hitchcock]

That's Hodgdon powder, transposed the letters above. 137 grains.

My gun started to show some pressure signs about 135 gn of h50 at 3150 fps. I wanted more speed, so I switched to a faster powder.

 

[Loren Hitchcock]

Interesting, I haven't had any pressure issues. I run 144 grains of H50 with a 300 Berger OTM at 3290 vel in my 338 Allen Magnum. Very consistent and super accurate.

What makes me nervous is that it leaves an imprint of the ejecter on the case head. Its easy to extract, I just think its getting kind of hot.

 

[Loren Hitchcock]

Seems a wise decision to back off.

I think Dave will be in contact with you. He has always replied even when he had storm damage and such around his shop, just may be a week or so.

I could use some too. Let me know if you are successful in getting some.

I would take 375 too
