The load is a 210 NP using 102 grains of H-1000 and Fed 215 primer for a velocity of 3200 fps

Trying to get a 250 Sierra at 3000 fps,but so far 2983 fps is the highest with Ramshot Magnum,and Geedubya THAT rattles the cage. This weekend will try H-1000 and see what accuracy and speed it gets.


I understand. In my old age I'm backing off a little.
338 Rum, 200 GR. Ballistic Silvertips,95 gr. IMR 7828 +/_ 3180 fps, 3.653 OAL

210 GR. Barnes TSX,92.5 gr. RL-22, +/- 3200 fps., 3.585 OAL

225 GR Nosler Partitons, 100 gr. H-1000, +/- 3100 fps. 3.565 OAL

All will shoot MOA out to 300 yds.


As I�ve said before, I�m typically a short range meat hunter. Most of my shots in the past have been 200 yds. or under. I�m in the process of setting up for 700 yds. I�ve got a spot on top of one of the hills at my lease where I have two LD opportunities. One is about 700 yds. The other is to almost infinity

Here is a feeder I�ve set up for whackin� hogs. It�s about 170 yds. I always try for a shot two inches below the ear on a line between the ear and shoulder. DRT. Tracking wounded boars in the thick stuff at dark-thirty can be a hair raising experience

Don�t know if you can see the second clearing at about 7 o�clock from the center of the photo. I�ve ranged it at about 700 yds. I�ve the 338 RUM with the B&C reticle. I�ve recently purchased two of the Leupold 4.5 x 14 x 40 CDS. Plan to send off to Leupold and have dials made for my 7 STW /140 gr. accubonds and my 6.5 WSM/140 gr. accubonds
Won�t shoot deer at that range, but will take the chance on hogs.

Best
