royinidaho,
Right now with the IMR7828 load I'm getting 3000fps. I found best groups there I got to 3085 but was getting groups that were a little over an 1". So I stuck with my load at 3000 it works the best in my rifle. I also have have a load with 90.5gr H4831 that I havn't had the time to run through chrony yet I'm thinking that load will be at 3050 or a little better. That load produces between 1/2 and 5/8 " groups.

No muzzle brake, huh? That otta be thumpin' ya pretty fair
 Me thinks I'm a wimp. Good data. Appreciate it. Thus, I'll procede with the takeoff bbl should the fella in CO. decide to let it go. I think its the 26" blue sporter bbl, not the heavy one.  A good thing is that the brake could be swapped from my current bbl. Saves a bit of the 160 that it took to get it installed on this bbl.Have you tried any of that 7828 SSC powder yet? I seem to have to squeeze the last bit of velocity out of stuff. Those velocities are only 150 fps slower that my spec. but I doubt that any animal would know the difference......

No I havn't tried any of the 7828 SSC yet I have 5lbs of the standard 7828 to use up yet. But the short cut intrests me though be cause it will come to rest in the case more uniformly and should burn more uniformly also. I think that way a guy could squeeze a little more velocity out of of a case that way. I'm looking forward to using next summer! Hope you get that barrel your looking at also. I don't realy get beat as bad as some may think shooting without a break but I don't shoot as much in one session as I do with my .300 though. I also rotate using my 22-250 also at the range rest rest between shot strings that seems to help.

I know your fellin' there Roy. I just spent a week in Montana chasing the elusive elk. The nomads. Same thing, everyday fresh tracks, long walk, no bull. Who said hunting was fun???
 Hang in there. One will make a mistake some day.

They are tough to find.
Tomorrow got all screwed up. Was supposed to take some aerial photos of some farm land would have been easy to fly over the elk unit and gps the herd. They are in big bunches now. 300 in some, 1000 in another, etc. But pilot is up north at a Highschool state football game. So can't make an photo $ or find "those" elk.However, going out back of the house in the morning. Who knows? They may be back there but I don't know why. No snow. Oh well. Sooner or later. If I get skunked back there its gonna be tough walking by those lamas

Just feel free to give those hell!
They aren't all that great anyway and probably need thinning out anyway. If it's any consaolation I filled my first deer tag today! Shot it running away from me at about 90 yards one shot from the .338 RUM ended all thoughts of getting away. Well thats a start it will make it to my freezer tomarrow. Good luck behind the house!

Went out back. Cows and 4-wheelers back there. Gave up and came home. Walked by the lamas and didn't even put the scope on them.
Twas a nice winter day. 40 degrees no wind, well very little so me thinks I gotta do some shootin'. Figured I'd validate my drop chart. I had just chrono'd and sighed in @ 200 yds and let the computer do its thing. Figured Sierra's published BCs are reliable. Velocity right at 2800 mv. Here's the results. 200 yds +4 1/4" 311 yds +1/4" 438 yds -13" 540 Yds -32" 4550' elevation, 45 degrees, wind from 7o'clock A < 5 mph. Scope 1.6" above line of bore. Sierra 250 Gameking (#2600) Gotta get me one of those xbal thingers for my pocket pc. Then I guess I have to carry around a weather station.

Looks good to me nice and flat and should hit plenty hard! I got some news that I found intresting. Barnes is now producing a 250gr TSXFB in .338. I was very happy to see that with that reduced friction design of the TSX I should get between 3000 and 3100 in my .338 RUM. With that bullets high BC and SD it will be just flat ass devastating on most anything I shoot with it and it will be sanctioned by ATT because it will reach out and touch something! Thought you would like to hear the news!

Ihaven't received their regular email lately either. What's the BC supposed to be. To make that Sierra 2600 match the curve I had to use a BC of about .800  But I'm always confused.

Roy go to the Barnes shopping site to see the new 250gr TSX I was just there and it's for sale but they don't list it under thier chart for TSX's. As far what the B.C. is for this bullet give me a little time I will let you know Barnes is getting back to me with this info. By the way have you heard about the new MRX bullet from Barnes yet? Federal is going to load it in thier factory ammo but it will be available to us next year!
