Hello Saeed.
What happend to the 250 grs. bullet (Nosler maybe)??

BUT, THANK YOU!!! for what you already have done.

460wby,

I do not have any 250 grain bullets.

I am shooting the 300 Sierra MK right now, and as soon as I am through, will post the data.

------------------

Any kind of 250 grs bullets would be appreciated...

Saeed,
Were the barnes bullets used in the experiments the coated XLC bullets, or the standard X bullets?

------------------
God Bless and Shoot Straight

the444shooter,

Our Barnes X are the old uncoated ones.

rejpelly,

My stock list shows we have some Sierra 250 grain bullets, but I do not seem to be able to find them.

We will look for them, and if we do have them we will shoot them.

------------------
saeed@ emirates.net.ae

www.accuratereloading.com

Thanks Saeed...

Wow,
So if we can expect 100fps more from the coated bullets (as randy brooks has claimed), That 210gr bullet will be SSSSSSSSSSSSSmokin'!!!!!!!! (notice the many S's to emphasize the velocity which could be attained )

210gr monolithic bullets at 3500fps!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!! OH HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!!

the444shooter,

Good news my friend!

I have found some Barnes X 250 grain bullets, and will try a few loads with them.

I simply love you, Saeed!!
Santa has heard my wishes.

THANK YOU SAEED!!!!!
I am very excited to see what you get. My guess is at least 3000fps (I HOPE I HOPE I HOPE) So far, my gun shoots great groups, sub-MOA, with the Nosler Partitions, and I can't wait to get my hands on some 210gr XLC's HOOOIEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saeed,

Thanks! I've been waiting on this one for a long time. Please post your comments on this cartridge.

Gentlemen,

We are getting some good results with the Barnes X 250 grain bullet wnd H1000.

I should have everything done within the next day or two.

90.0 H 1000 2755 - 0.516"
96.0 H 1000 2960 fps - 0.798"

Saeed,
That's a lot of testing!! Who gets the honour of shooting it that many times off the bench? Also, I'd imagine tylenol, and sports creme are handy as well.
Seems like a shooter. You do amazing work.

Saeed;I dont if you are using a muzzle break or a tripod eliminating the most of the kicking,if not you are really someone...

Gentlemen,

The rifle is a standard Remington 700 with a blued barrel. I changed the stock and put it in an H-S Precision stock, put a Leupold 4.5-14 Scope on it and left it at that.

The boys here refuse to shoot anything with a case larger than a 30-06, so I am afraid I have to do all the shooting myself. And as usually work in the workshop in a T-shirt and a pair of shorts, I have put 2 PAST recoil pads together with velcro, and use them while shooting.

Shooting rifles with classic stocks does not seems to bother me so much.

Shooting some of the German made rifles with factory stocks seems to really give a good whack, especially on the cheek.

It is not bad at all shooting these rifles in our lab. I normally load 3 rounds, shoot them, load another 3 rounds, wait for the barrel to cool, then shoot again.

------------------
saeed@ emirates.net.ae

Saeed,

Just curious as to what kind of accuracy you are getting out of your Remington?

Thanks,
Telly

Saeed...

Helpful hint if you haven't tried it. Froget the PAST pads. Put 10 pounds of lead shot in a heavy duty canvas bag, and connect it to the fron sling mount with about 1" of slack. Place a 25 bag of #8 ro #9 lead shot between your shoulder and the butt...

You can shoo 460 Weatherbys all day long from a bench, and not have any regrets...

Now, two questions...how are the Sierra 300 grain tests coming, and how would you rate the .338 RUM against the other .338's? (.338-416, .338 Lapua, etc.)

Telly;if a man can really do it with the most accuracy, I think Saeed is the man; with let say it with some punishment{.338 RUM is quite a kicker with 250 grs bullets,300 grs ,I prefer not shooting those,the 250 grs were the most my shoulder can accept.}

Telly,

All the above loads are shot in the Remington 700 I mentioned.

I have finished load development on this one. Now I have to put all the data in the computer and posted it.

------------------
saeed@ emirates.net.ae

www.accuratereloading.com

Gentlemen,

I have compiled all the data, then found that I did not have an HTML software on my new computer - some of you migh remember we had an HD crash a while back. And I do not seem to be able to find my copy of Frontpage.

It seems to have followed the example of many things here - developed legs and walked away!

I asked one of the boys here to buy a new version of Frontpage, which he kindly did. But, following my instructions to the letter - he said I told him to "pick the latest version of Frontpage and buy it."

He brought me an Arabic version!

He promised to change it this evening, and hopefully I will have all the details posted by late tommorow.

Please accept my appologies for the delay.

Gentlemen,

Loading data for this cartridge has been uploaded.

You can find it on the Reloading section, or directly from this link

Saeed,

Thanks for the data. How does V-165 compare to V-N560 in your experience? I haven't tried the 165 but really like the 560.
Thanks again

Cheaha,

The 165 is slower than the 560. Ther are about like comparing Reloader 19 and 22 according to the book.

Gentlemen,

More data has been added for this one.

Saeed,

Thanks. You are a big help to us ballistic nuts.

Thanks saeed! Can someone suggest a starting load for the 300 SMK and IMR 7828?
