Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Seafire and others, blue dot questions...

Is there any data for the .338WM using 210gr bullet, .25-06 w/ 100gr, and the 7mmRM with 140gr bullet?

Thanks!

My concerns are, when you say a bullet weighing x amount of grains, you need to make sure you have a bullet that will perform in that velocity range...

Example: a 210 gr Partition and Blue Dot are not a good killing combo... the 210 partition is to hard for that low of velocity.. a 200 or even 180 grain Accubond or a 200 grain Hornady would be a better choice...

I can set you up with what you requested above... but do you have a velocity range in mind ahead of time that you are hoping to accomplish?

Seafire,
I'm a friend of .338ps, and told him about your knowledge with blue dot. He's just looking for plinking loads, for hunting he's got some full house loads that work well. I'm sure targets, gophers and milk jugs won't mind too much if the bullet doesn't expand a whole lot. Just trying to minimize the cost of some added trigger time and increase familiarity with the hunting rifles, that's all.

Jordan,

Actually the 210 partition in .338 is a fairly soft bullet. When the 338-08 was a wildcat, the 210 partition was pretty much the bullet, as it performed quite well at the 2400-2500 fps muzzle velocity. Also the handcannon handgunners have found that at a 2100 fps muzzle velocity it works well.
