Reloading .338 Win Mag Benelli R1

[4fifty8]

• referenced Hornady Handbook 7th edition
• yesterday tried Hornady 250gr SP / 67.0 gr H4350 / Winchester brass / 9-1/2 M
• no recommendations - likely moderate pressure in my rifle - safe in my rifle ONLY
• ~2625 fps mv bit faster than listed speed - cycles reliably groups not too bad
• target shooting load - Buffalo Bore ammo for hunting https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/threads/buffalo-barnes-338-win-mag.2275733/
• for cleaning dismantling & reassembly real easy once you figure it out

A classic 338WM load is a 4831grade powder, I used N560 but RL22 had a lot of fans , and a 225gr, I used Accubonds at 2800fps. 225gr bullet was that happy place like the 180gr in a 30-06. I haven't moved on and worked out a copper bullet yet.
