Looking real nice so far. By the way, when you have the time about the time when you plan to reload for your .338, take a look at all the very useful .338-caliber bullet data. There is a wealth of information about which "bullet does that," and so on.

Thanks Ray I will take a look.

I have been shooting the 338 Win since about 1980, when I bought my first, a M70 push feed with an ill fitting stock. Did not take me long to sell that thing! Next was a Mark X with a Shilen 24 inch No. 4. Then another Mark X, with a 25 inch Shilen No 3. Still have this one. Also have a 340 Weatherby and a 338 Lapua.

Mostly used Partitions, 210 and 225, and some Sierra 225.

Now I have recently accumulated Interbonds, Accubonds, Barnes, and Sirocco to try. I have two boxes of Jensens that I bought long ago, might give them a try.

To bad about your M70. I have a 1965 M70 .338 that I bought from a man who did a lot of hunting with it for many years. I had the old long held belief that they weren't much good but it's been very accurate and reliable for me, ugly pressed checkering and all.
