[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 640351, member: 11960"] I would try some slightly faster powders. When I was working up loads for the 338/375 Ruger out of an 18" barreled Striker, I started with H4831SC. My velocities were disappointing (around 2500fps with a 225gr TTSX) and the muzzle flash was like a flame thrower. I switched to RL 17 (similar burn rate to IMR 4350) and now I'm getting over 2900fps with a 225gr bullet. I had similar results with the 250gr SMK using H4831 (2450fps) and H4350 (2650fps) The slightly fast powders have just worked a little better for me. Andrew [/QUOTE]
