338 Rum loads.

[mike33]

Worked some loads for my factory 700 sporter for a lighter weight carry lr elk rifle. Tried some sierra 250 bt not the matchkings i thought i had. Started with 3 strings with H-1000 95,96,and 97 grains but groups was 1 1/4 to 1 1/2" at 100 yards. Any help such as powder or other bullet in this range want to be efficient out to 1k yards but dont want to go to the 300 grainer.

I had really good luck with Retumbo, but H1000 wasn't bad either I was running 265gr ttsx

I'd stick with H1000 in your barrel and mess with seating depths

Thats actually what i did on the other string i loaded up. I just ordered a box of the 250 nosler accu bond and a box of the 250 match kings. I didnt know what to expect from a factory sporter weight rifle. I did re stock to a B&C alaskian, rifle basix trigger, and a DE brake. My edge just started off the bat shooting so good now i have to mess with one.
