I built it off of a rem 700 action with a touch less freebore than factory chamberings. It has a 26" shilen on it. I am going to play with some 250 berger hybrids tomorrow... I just can't seem to stop tinkering....

A 250 gr Nosler Partition and a .340 Wby go together like apple pie and ice cream.

Practice,practice,practice is all it takes Gunner. Just don't over do it on the range. When I had a .340,I loaded the 250 up to 2920 fps using IMR 7828 and a CCI 250 mag primer. Killed my first cow elk with that load. It also worked very well on jackrabbits,had pieces-parts falling out of the sky for a few moments.

LOL, yes, have to 'p' routine down to an art, meant to say it's a hard hammer to catch for the animals being shot with that combo, and am glad no one gonna be hunting me with a 340 loaded with 250 NPT's.

2750 fps is nothing to sneeze at.

Haha that is crazy, my current standby load is a 250 accubond over enough 7828 to put me at 2920 fps over the chrono as well. Almost always under 1 moa if i do my part. Who woulda thunk. Besides you and me of course...and apple pie guy

Had a Winchester M 70 SS .338 Win and loaded 275 gr SAF in it. Lets just say,the rifle is longer in my gun safe. If I was smarter back then,I would've dropped down to a 210 gr NP and re-stocked it to a Banser.

Gotta little re-rifled light weight pre-64 in 338-06 in an old Rimrock stock with a 2.5-8 in dual dovetails that fires 210 gr. Partitions at 2800 fps, that sombuck will rock a deer's world Buddy.

It'll work on an elk too. Reckon?..................I'd be askeered to take it alone out West for Elk, got some bigger rifles here that would ease the unknown angle presentation a little. Will the 210 partitions penetrate close with the heavier offerings?
