Load for MH in .260???

[alberta tactical rifle]

The Scenars work just fine as a hunting bullet Rick. I'd load and treat them just like any cup and core.
Their jackets are relatively thick (but consistent) and the 123gr is a bullet I've used on deer. It made similar wound channels to the Accubonds.

I was starting them at 3250fps out of a 6.5 Rem Mag, so expect they will do well at more civilized velocity.

I would recommend H4350 as a powder as well.

Ok fair enough. My experience was with 300 gr 338s and a moose, and I believe a FMJ would have shown more expansion.
I guess this is the problem with blanket statements and for that I apologize and clarify. 300 gr 338 cal Scenars, 225 gr 30 cal Hornady Match both worked extremely poorly for me. None of this is relevant to the MH I realize.

If ATRS doesn't have Brownells has RCBS AR dies in .338fed

After looking for a solid 12 minutes, I don't see any other non-custom options for .338 small base....

Redding does make a seater....

Thank you Gunneegoogoo your a good man
I picked up the wrong 338fed dies wish I would have known befor I got them

What is the heaviest 338 fed round you can run in the MH ?

Mag length will be the biggest determining factor. Personally I would think 200 would be the maximum. We have been using Federal Premium with the 200 gr Trophy Bonded with the polymer tip and have regulated the gas port for that ammo and it cycles well.

Sh!t happens.... There's lots of .338 Feds out there...throw em on the EE

Check out my thread on the custom Redding die option....one for your 6.5CM might be nice for longer range.....
