.366 D.G.W. ballistics
I thought you might find this intresting.

250 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip
Federal 215 primers
98 grains ofIMR 4350= 3253 FPS and 5875 FP energy

6" point blank range

100 yards = +2.35 3046 FPS 5150 Fp

200 yards = +2.44 2851 FPS 4512 Fp

300 yards = -1.74 2664 FPS 3991 Fp

400 yards = -10.8 2486 FPS 3430 Fp

500 yards = -25.5 2314 FPS 2970 Fp

0 = 270 yards, 3" low at 318 yards

If you people would like I will dig out more loading info for this cartridge. It is rather flat shooting and hard hitting isn't it!!!

Jud, yes we would!!!!!!!!!!

Especially the data using the 300gr Swift A-Frame ones. I'm going to order some of the North Fork bullets the 250's and the 286+/-grs. They haven't settled on a specific weight yet for the latter [Roll Eyes]

Also if you have tried them data with the new N500 series high energy powders... N540,N550 and N560. How do you feel the 20N29 would work for this wildcat? Faster or slower powders for it?

286 grain Nosler partition load/velocity data?

How accurate are those rebarreled Ruger #1 chambered in .366 D.G.W as far as 100 yard groups?

So if I wanted to purchase a used Ruger #1 for this project chambering of .366 D.G.W., will a #1 chambered in 338 win mag be alright as far as the bolt face/chamber modification?

What barrel manufactors are you using?

What brand of brass are you using or what are your preference?
