Any one with loads for 180 gr bullets on a .30-338 and RL-22?

What happened to all of the .30-338 shooters out there?

Hellooooooooooo out there

Nope, I use:
IMR-4350 From 63.1 grains to 76.0 grains
Winchester WLR Primer

I also use IMR 4350. I generally use a 165gr bullet.

You could use .308 Norma starting loads, and probably use the STARTING load data for H4831 in that caliber, substituting Re 22. Then work up, if necessary.....

Here is why I ask. On my latest bottle purchased of RL-22 it says "the powder of choice for the 7MM RM and 300 WM. So why not the .30-338WM??? It is the same case as the 7MM and darn close to the 300WM.

Yes. Why not use it in your rifle? The .30/338 is pretty much the same as the .308 Norma when it comes to loading data. I use RE 22 in the 7mm Rem. Mag., the 7X57mm with 175-grain bullets, and in the 8X60RS with 200 grain bullets. In the 8X60RS, it keeps pressures very low while producing 2450 FPS with the 200-grain Nosler and 200-grain Speer.

I have one comeing! Soon hopefully. I was planning on using my hoard of Winchester Mag Rifle (ball powder). If not that, I would use Re22, or H4831sc.

Mann,

I have shot the 30-338 for several years and it is THE 30 magnum as far as I am concerned.

I have not used RL 22 because H4831 has done everything you'd ever want a powder to do: velocity, accuracy, and consistency.

I use the accuracy load from the old Lyman manual 71.3gr of 4831 with a 180 grain Partition. This will shoot under .5MOA and be just at 3000fps from my 26inch barrel.

Sorry-I don't have any RL 22 data for you. Kudude
