Guys, I have noted some interest in reloads for the 338-06. I thought I would pass along a good one at least in my rifle. I was at the range this morning working up some loads for the new ER Shaw barrel. I had heard from other people that the Shaw barrels aren't accurate. Well 55 gr of RL 15 under a Nosler 180gr BT put three shots in one large hole at 100 yds. The Nosler manual puts this at 2888 and is 4" low at 300 sighted 3" high at 100. I'm off to try the 200gr BT's | ||

Give Nosler's Imr-4o64 load a try with those 18o BT's. In my rifle they averaged 2995 fps and were exceptionally accurate. It's a good combo of accuracy and velocity, but I honestly don't plan on hunting anything with them other than milk jugs.

Thanks Turok, I called Nosler about the construction of the 180 BT the Tech said game up to Caribou. I think I'll use them for the local whitetail and feral hogs. | |||
