[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 231879, member: 5060"] I shoot the 338 Slowpoke (based on a 338 Lapua) in several rifles for hunting and in competition. In the latest hunting rifle used for ELK hunting the 2 weeks that I had to work up loads got the 250gr SMK to 3049 without excessive pressure signs and up to 3179 WITH a hard to open bolt!! The 3049 load shoots .4 at 300 with no brake and let me tell you it jumps 4 inches off my front rest. Rifle and scope weigh 11.2 lbs -- knew I should have not loaded that much WMR and H1000 on the over pressure loads!!!!! Anyway I will be glad to send you the print of the cartridge to look at if you are interested. Speedy helped me with this and we got Kiff to build the reamers to chamber with and make the dies. Just so you will know on several loads I have worked up on several barrels it is not uncommon to see shot to shot deviations (5 shot groups) in the 25 fps or less range. [/QUOTE]
