[QUOTE="R C, post: 1917812, member: 104937"] One added note to my previous post that I forgot to include, for the 213 hammers, I shot 2930 fps out of 70 grains RL16 with decent accuracy in my TC Pro Hunter Encore. The IMR4831 (73 grains) gave me 2971 fps with better accuracy (3/4 moa vs about 1 moa for RL16) but that was a compressed load but I couldn't get consistent seating because of that, kept pushing the AOL longer. I want to try H4831SC and see if that helps. I just started loading a couple of years ago so I'm learning as I go here. Steve suggested to tightened the necks some but I was up to crunch time last year so I made the decision to stay with RL16 because of my confidence level with it. 338WM is also new for me so I'm making the learning curve even greater. But that RL16 load dropped a whitetail (80 yards or so) so I'm happy so far but a lot more to learn. I was also impressed with the performance of the hammer. Bottom half the heart, most of the back side lung black mush. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
