[QUOTE="Broz, post: 867223, member: 7503"] Riley, there still needs to be some temp testing, but from what I have seen you might want to see if you can locate a pound of RL33. I am pretty sure it will give you some velocity. To only 1300 yards I feel you can deal with temp swings if they are reasonable. As far as velocity and drift, I think you should try to find out why this rifle is so down on velocity. For example it is not uncommon to run 92 gr or a bit more of H-1000 in a 338 LM. The fact that you stuck a case, but no ejector marks could mean you could need to polish the chamber?? Also, I find that if you run cases with zero head space and a max load in a 338 LM it can stick a case especially on shot 2 or 3. What are you setting the shoulders back to? Were these full sized cases? How about bumping that shoulder back .003 and try working up toward that max load of H-1000 again? Jeff [/QUOTE]
