[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1845062, member: 87243"] Yup, the 128's pressured up with lower loads than anticipated, but they also didn't reach the velocities I was expecting in the .270 Sherman, 3200 with the 128 was as hot as I dare go with several powders, especially since I was developing the load here in Wyoming for my cousin to use in California. Had carbon come around the primer and lost the pocket on one that was 3300 with RL26, in Norma brass. At least these .338 270's are getting in the ballpark of expected velocity, though possibly a little slower than a lead core bullet of same weight. At 2800-2850 though, I still think I will try them, especially if accuracy is as good as I think it will be. They only have 1-2" more drift at 1000 yds than the 300 bergers, not even 1 click, and recoil, while not a problem with the 300's, is less with the 270's, fulky dressed with sling and bipod loaded this gun is 10 lbs 7 oz so a little less recoil may aid in long range field consistency. I'll play with them more and find out. [/QUOTE]
