Gunner, you getting soft, losing your Loony edge...

Seriously, you are 100% correct...

Point well taken...

I may try a few rounds to just see how it goes, then load up a few boxes of the final load and move onto another project.

Just talked to my hunting bud. He and I never shoot the same rifle more than one season. I think the 338-06 will be my next year's deer and hog rifle. He's going to be using his .270 Wby Shilen/Ruger tanger 77. I'm going to load some 140 NAB's, 130 gr. killed WT's were a bit messy at the skinning shed. Slightly slower 140's may not be as bad.
