Looking for some 338rum. load suggestions, using 300gr woodlehigh sn/rn . Any body! any thing ?
Thanks
 
my brown bear hunter was using a 338UM with factory loaded 300 gr nosler accubonds. it did a good job, but his muzzle brake mucked up my ears!!
 
It’s not exactly what you are asking, but I load 250 gr Accubonds in mine. It groups well . I’ve only shot moose with it. Performance was impressive. No post shot tracking or packing involved.

How did the ABs hold up on the brown bear
frontal standing chest shot, bullet exited on 9 1/4' brown bear out his back. did not recover a bullet from it. bear made it 350 yards or so before expiring. (with a couple helper shots in the high shoulder)
 
Woodleigh loading guide lists Following for 300 gr, RN SN in the 338 RUM:

H1000 - 82 to 66.5 grns for 2440 to 2620 fps
Retumbo - 84 to 90.5 grns for 2500 to 2660 fps
Norma MRP - 79 to 82.5 grns for 2530 to 2610 fps
Norma MRP2 - 85 to 88 grns for 2550 to 2630 fps

Well thank you thank you very much
 
Hope it helps. I have a couple more loads using powders with Austrailian designations. PM me if you would like me to provide them.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
