That's one I always forget to grab and I should. From all accounts it is a beast and I'd bet my current load using the 175 BBC's and Woodleighs wouldn't be too far off the mark either.

NICE! and not to deflect too much, but, I just completed annealing, FL sizing and trimming 300 sticks of 338WM brass, about to head out to the shop and work up new loads with the 250gr partitions for two bolt rifles, I love this damn hobby we have!  Speaking of the 338 gunner, I had scotty test some of the 225gr. Hornady SP interlocks a couple years ago. They didn't hold up very well. When I go through the 100 I have left, I'm going to be switching to a 210 partition, I think for an all around good projectile. Guys around here use them in their 338's for elk all the time. Speeds at 3,000+ fps and a good controlled expansion bullet works very well...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I got a box of 139 Scenars yesterday. I know we all know how they work, but it might be cool to compare in the jugs.
Also have a box of 220 Scenars for my 300 RUM. I’m pretty anxious to try those. I'm interested to see how the scenars hold up..

I'd be curious on them as well. Shot a few things with them at long range and they all died but not sure how they would do up close or at high impact speeds. Going back to 180 Scenars this year for the 7mm Remington. That's what I've been thinking when I switch my old twister corkscrew barreled 300 win mag over to the 210gr LRAB's, hope they hold up.

That'll work buddy, my 22" barreled NH M-70 338 settled on the 250gr partitions at 2720 fps at 3.330" the 26" barreled Kimber SA likes the load too, and fires it at 2805 with equal accuracy, i'll take that all day long, either load will still be packing 2000 fps at 500 yards up on an 8500' elk mountain, plenty good enough for this flatlander!

Yep, sounds like you found a good load for those rifles. I always like it when 2 rifles like the same load. It's a good day when that happens..

You bet Buddy, especially when you're messing with 300 damn sticks of brass . makes it easy, load, zero, check zero, then go hunting.
