[QUOTE="RedSnake, post: 2011463, member: 102245"] I worked up a new load for my 338 Sherman with 285 ELD-m’s and chose RL-16 and RWS 270 brass bc I wanted a temp stabile powder for use across wide temp swings down here in Texas. I gave up some in velocity but accuracy and an ES of 7 gave me what I wanted. The Hornady 285 gr ELD-M clocked at an ave velocity of 2533 with an ES of 7 using RL-16. This load yields 4060 ft•lbs at the muzzle and remains above 1600 fps out to 1000 yds and still delivers over 1600 ft•lbs of energy! [ATTACH type="full"]222609[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
