Anyone loading the 175gr Raptor in a 338Remington Ultra Mag?

What powder/starting load recommendation?

Ken sent me a whole pile of load data for my 300 WM and the 145 grain ESP Raptors.

Here is a group I shot last week averaging 3300 fps using Ramshot Hunter. Not too shabby for my first trip to the range with these bullets. Gotta shoot them again to make sure it wasn't a fluke!



One thing I did notice was very drastic changes in groups when varying the powder by only 0.5 grains. I shot the above group, moved up 0.5 grains and the group opened up to about 2.25 inches. Moved up another 0.5 grains and they shrank back down to about 1.25 inches. But, as I stated, I gotta shoot them again to see if my first trip to the range in repeatable.

Good luck!
