Have any of you tried it and will it work with 225gr ELD-M? It's the only powder I have found that MIGHT actually work.
Thanks
Thanks
I had my fill of unstable with a .338 win mag. Had a great 1/2" group load in the winter and a stuck bolt in the summer.It's very unstable.

Yes, 50 is in the same store as 869. I was thinking 50 was too slow so I didn't even consider it.have you found either rl33 or rl50? I am running either in my 300 rum's with the hdy 225 hpbt and they both run 3,000 fps with ease. I'm at 95 gr rl33 in rp brass/ 215 primer... 102 rl50... same brass/primer
both seem pretty temp stable to me in this loading...
normal 26" factory on both rifles... The load will be a bit compressed but a bit of vibration or tapping on the case should get it in fine. I'd start in the mid 90's and work up for rl50 with a 225 in a 300rum.Yes, 50 is in the same store as 869. I was thinking 50 was too slow so I didn't even consider it.
What length barrel?
