Interesting that's for sure,still comes back to what your barrel likes, haven't tried them in my 338 semi- custom, but she does like them partitions ,hornadys ,and sierras, my 338 is more of a target chaser, dennis your 340 should perk with RL-26 rl-25 H-1,000 ,retumbo, , any of these should hit your Jackpot!, wow 3200 is smoking, but Norma makes great everything Dat's a fact!

RE temperature sensitivity with R22: Here we don't get extreme cold hunting temps the range is from 10-100 degrees and I have only noticed about 50 fps change. But what I have noticed is the lot to lot variation and this could be mistaken for temperature sensitivity. I now buy either large containers or cans of the same lot or switch to MRP

R23 and 26 are better in this department and worth a look if just starting load work up.

Has anyone used the AB on Buff or Brumby?

I think you are right Tex , lot to lot seems to be pretty varied in R22. I have always tried to get the same Lot# in any powder I used, but one time ( back during the Great Bill Clinton Primer Scare) I had to use different Lots. I didn't get any pressure signs ( 300 WM) but my 76gr/180 XBT group had to be re zeroed about an inch horizontally. When I was playing with the .224 TTH I bought a 5# jug. I still have some left I'll use. I did get some R23 and R26 to try. Here in Utah, its rare for it to get below 10deg during the Fall hunt ( say a storm comes in) but the late season antlerless hunts ( Nov-early Feb) can be pretty rank, though seldom below zero, usually single digits. Merry Christmas guys!

Yea! Finally got my Ruger 77 "tanger" 338WM home! I took it apart/inspected everything, reassembled with proper torque to all screws. Put my Leupold 1.5x5 on it. Someone had really worked on the stock...slimmed up/trimmed up and re-checkered. It is very lively between my hands. It still has the old "Red Pad" recoil pad they used back then, which may hurt...if so I'll have a Limbsaver put on.

I use the 250 for Sika deer and they do a good job. They would probably work on whitetail but I have a 375 H & H for them.

If your post was in response to mine - Not really. However I couldn't find a digital image of a 250 Accubond group but have several with the 250 Partition. This one should come in below the .5 moa that I mentioned. At 400yds it would have come in well below.

That's awesome shooting right there. It really shows the capability of the partition. I've always had good luck with partition bullets. Not so much with the Accubond. I may give the accubond another try though. Next time I'll have to back them off the lands a lot more, I guess...

I looked for some .375 260gr Accubonds for more than a year without any luck. Bought a few boxes of 260gr Partitions to get ready for an upcoming buffalo hunt. To my amazement, the Partitions shot < 1 moa groups at 300yds from a bone stock Ruger Guide Gun in 375 Ruger.

Ended up shooting a buffalo twice with the Partitions. Both bullets impacted in the crease behind the shoulder. The buffalo barely even flinched but fell over dead a minute later.

Recovered both perfectly expanded bullets in the hide on the opposite side. Partitions seem to have very predictable terminal performance and better accuracy than you might expect.
