[QUOTE="Shane Lindsey, post: 2879851, member: 25831"] 213 Hammer Hunter 2677 FPS with Varget. 175 Hammer 3065 FPS with CFE 223. These are the only ones that shoot at least MOA. Both line up with Hodgdon's 338-06 data, towards the top. My velocity is a little slower due to 22" barrel length, but thought I would be gaining a little with the increase in case capacity. Everything else I only did one round per charge weight for velocity/pressure. All were low before I got ejector print where I wouldn't go further. Backed off and just no accuracy, so moved on to another bullet. These are where I had pressure, no accuracy. 250gr Hornady BTHP 2617 FPS with Staball 6.5 and 2601 FPS with H4350 (I don't think they make this anymore). 200gr Nosler BT 2867 FPS with Staball 6.5 (no longer made). 225gr Speer BTSP 2701 FPS Rl17. 250 Bergers was able to get to 60.3gr Rl17, but never clocked it as accuracy wasn't there so moved onto the ones above.
