[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1817203, member: 101791"] I agree about trying different bullet and manufactures to development loads. Which I have over the years. Assuming you have your rifle in hand. Case prep is the start point other wise it's harder to work up a load. I am not saying you have too, but you won't get as much out of the round by not doing it. Barrel length is importance too. I see that a great many like flame thrower loading slow powders in short barrel even with mag primers. I deal with belted mag rifles so my powder charge is limited to about 75 grains and generally with a Federal 210 primer, but use 26" barrels. 308 norma Mag I am getting 3300 fps. I also have a 265 Wing Mag. 7mm Rem Mag. and a 338 Win Mag along with several other rifles. The 338 is a tack diver, and I am getting 3220fps with a 200 grain Noslers Spbt. Now I have used both 308 Nor, Mag and 338 Win Mag in Africa over the past 4 years. Stopping all animals either in their tracks or with in 30 yards. The only problem I didn't get was to see the animal skinned out to see what the bullet did to the animal. I will try some hammer bullets here shortly. Working on loads for my son's 338 Win Mag in a 26" barrel. SSS Mike [/QUOTE]
