338-06/RL15/210TSX Velocity?

Can anyone provide estimated velocity for the above combination from a 23" barrel and loaded from 50-53gr in .5 grain increments? I haven't purchased a chronograph yet and am wondering how fast my loads are moving.

Thank for any help,

Robert

Hey Bruz,
I have a Chrono and would be more than happy to let you shoot your 338-06 Patriot over it one weekend soon. I think we don't live too far apart. I'm in Dacula.

Going to be doing some shooting this weekend, but down in Talbot County. I can go about any time to one of the ranges near us. I'd love to have an excuse to take a week day off.

Take ld up on that. Even if I gave you numbers, they would not necessarily translate to your rifle. I can tell you from my 22 1/2" bbl. the 210grTSX is going about 2700fps w/ 53gr of RL15, 0.03" off the lands.

lookin back at my laod develpment notes I got the folowing with my 24" bbl 338-06 and 210 TTSX

RL 15 53 gr 2661 fps
54 gr 2730 fps
55 gr 2758 fps
The 55 gr mached the velocity of the weatherby 210 partetion factory loads

LD,

Thank you for your offer and per my PM on the other site I will definitely take you up on it as soon as we can get together. I just loaded up Varget 53-57gr/210 TSX for the 338-06 and IMR 4831 and 120gr Partitions for the 257 BOB.

Thanks again,

Robert

Fred,

Thanks for the information. Mine is a 23" barrel so we should be fairly close.
