[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1184052, member: 33822"] Nice work. That's some impressive speed from a 338 RUM.... RL33 sure gets the job done. I've got nearly the same setup as you do and I am only getting up to about 2800 before I see pressure signs. i am shooting the 300 Accubond and the 300 Elite Hunter, both with RL33, and they perform nearly identical with velocity and accuracy. I have done some fine tuning with the 300 EH and will likely use that to hunt this year. Both bullets are shooting great at long range but the BC of the EH is hard to beat. Have you done any temperature sensitivity testing with your setup? I have done several tests ranging from the low 20's up to the mid 60's and pretty well have my system dialed in. My rifle is shooting right at .87 FPS/degF, and it's all been verified with my Magnetospeed and drops out to 1000 yards. I am also getting single digit ES, along with sub 1/4 MOA accuracy. The rifle is a machine. And this load is only 93.0 grains of RL33. Much less than you are able push. My gun likes a small .010" jump and That makes the COAL of the Accubond 3.795 which just fits into my magazine box. The EH has to be single loaded, COAL is 4.915. Like you have pointed out, the small jump increases pressure, but even if I loaded to a longer jump I still wouldn't get the loads you are getting. No big deal, every barrel is different. Glad you started this thread, was thinking about doing something similar and then this just popped up! I would really like to hear how your rifle continues to perform. [/QUOTE]
