338RUM BALISTICS

[skidlyman]

I'm using a NXS 5.5-22x56 NPR2, It has a Rifle Basix trigger, and a Vais muzzlebrake, don't know if the altitude is doing all that xtra fps or my cheap Chrony Master might be lieing!! but this thing really shoots

I have build a .338 RUM on a 700 rem ation and I used a 30" Pac-Nor barrel with three groves and I have a brake on it.I get with a 180 AB 3600 FPS using 4831SC 97grs. a 225 SST 3300FPS using H-1000 98grs. a 300 SMK 2975 FPS using Retumbo 93grs. I shoot 5/8" groups at 200 yds.The barrel is where you will give the vel. with a case this big, to burn all the powder.I also use a V-block to hold the long barrel in the stock ,so not to stress the action to much.With the V-block the barrel and the action are both free floated in the stock ... much better groups. Just my 2 cents Tim

My best load is 100grs of H1000 and a 225 gr AB at 3115ft/sec
with a 27.250 barrel. It will group .412 @100 yrds.

The hot'est load is 102gr H1000 @3236ft/sec, But the groups
open up to an average of .750. (caution this load may be to
hot in some rifles).

Varmints 3300 with a 30" tube and 98grs h1000 seems about
right .So with a 26" barrel you may be near max velocity and
you may hurt your accuracy if you load up much further.

3000ft/sec + is a good neighborhood with a .338 225gr AB .

Be carefull with hot loads !!!

I notice in the new Nosler# 6 they show a max load of 98gr. of RL25 @ 3,227
fps with the 225Acc, maybe a fast barrel or something. Test barrel is 26".
