Does anyone have a load recipe for the following bullet and powder? .338 210gr Banes Triple X IMR 7828 powder Barnes' website only lists IMR 4350 Thanks |
Might help if we knew what cartridge you're shooting the Barnes out of... I shoot the 338LM through a 1:12" Sako TRG42 and it likes 250 SMK and Scenars, but I've shot some lighter bullets. It prefers H-4831SC and VV165/VV170. I've also used H-1000 and have some RL-25 to fiddle with. Hodgdon's Retumbo might be another one, but maybe not with the 210gr bullets. I take it, this is a hunting load? Chris |

I shoot a .338 Win Mag using IMR-4350 and Magnum primers. Have had good results using Sierra bullets. Never used IMR-7828...... IMO all the .338's use alot of powder, so I would proceed with caution and go with the published data and use something like IMR-4350. Rifles can be replaced, fingers and eyes can't. just my .02 |

Well my normal loads for moose hunting is: IMR 7828 @ 73.5 grains Sierre Sptizet-Boattail @ 250 grains. Fired from a Ruger M77 Mk II, .338 Win Mag I've heard a lot of good things about the TripleX Bullets from Barnes and wanted to give them a try. I'm not against using Hodgden 4350 powder, it's just that I have about 2 pounds of IMR 7828 and want to use it up. I also have 4350 but was just wandering if the 7828 would work well with that particular Barnes Bullet. Thanks |
