For the 250 NPT fans...
Brian Pearce has published a load with RL22 that gets 2852 fps with 24".
Not in my .338.
I find internet loads consistently not the same as my Oehler 35P readings, with H 4831sc being the most overrated of the overrated, in this chambering.
Only Rel 17 has exceeded 2800fps using this bullet in my own, and a range of other .338's I have tested.
Hence the comment you commonly see here, "YMMV".
AussieGunwriter,
This isn't an "internet load"
Reference Handloader 236, August-September 2005, pg 101 by Brian Pearce.
To summarize, 76.7gr RL22, Fed215, W-W cases gets 2852 fps from his 24" 77RS. Brian states, "This load contains a bit more powder than most manuals list, but pressures are within SAAMI limits, and it has worked perfectly in several rifles."
I have no experience with this load or Brian's rifles. I was just posting interesting info as another data point for others. I've got no interest in this bullet whatsoever.
But, I've gotten a lot of good info from Pearce, and Handloader magazine.
YMMV
