Herb D.338-300RUM LOADS
My new .338-300RUM Ruger #1 should be done shortly, so I was wondering what loads work for you in that caliber. Most likely I'll be using 225 Accubonds, but others might be considered.
Also who, besides RCBS, makes the dies? I'm not looking forward to a 6 week waiting period.
Thanks in advance,
Herb

TailgunnerYou can order die blanks from Troy Newlon
www.Newlonprecision.com and have your gunsmith use the chambering reamer (go with the SS blank, after reaming have it hardened to about Rc42 and if needed have the ID hard chromed to a thickness of .0015-.0020.).
You will need a size #5 blank

Herb DTailgunner,
Thanks.I'll keep that in mind if I do a more exotic wildcat.
In this case it'll be more expedient to go with factory dies.
ANYONE WITH ANY LOADING INFO???
With an unreal cannon like that,i wouldn,t be i a hurry to get pounded to death for no reason!Enjoy the time you have to wait for your punishment,enjoy! vangunsmith

Herb DI guess I'm a masochist at heart as I'm already getting my punishment from my .375RUM Ruger #1.
Dies (read pricey) are coming from RCBS .
Still looking for load data.
