    Stroke of luck this morning. I went into a local small gun shop and found (1) 1 pound can of Reloader 15 and (1) 5-pound keg of Reloader 15, needless to say I picked up both!! So here will be my test loads starting at minimum and working up. Barnes TSX 210 grain with 50 grains Reloader 15...

    Thank you guys very much for the great input, much appreciated. Next question, “fire forming” your brass. Now I 100% understand what fire forming brass is, example; firing 280 Remington ammo in your 280 Remington AI chambered rifle to fire form it into 280 Remington AI brass, I get it...

    Yes sir, N150 is what I have been thinking. I also see a good bit of data for CFE 223 and Varget.

    338-06 Loaders

    Good day gentlemen, I have (2) 338-06 rifles in the making. Rifle one is a SS Ruger Hawkeye Hunter 22" that started life as a 30-06 Springfield and has been sent to JES Reboring to be rebored and chambered into 338-06. Rifle two started life as a Ruger M77 MK II 270 and has been sent to ER Shaw...

    Shooters Reference

    Composite Rifle Stocks

    First off I am a die-hard wood/blue rifle guy, nothing better than a blued steel barrel/action setting in a beautiful piece of walnut. I am in the process of re-barreling my Ruger Mark II stainless rifle (building a 338-06) that sets in the original factory laminate stock. I am wanting to make...

    338-06 Brass Needed

    I appreciate the votes of confidence in the QC brass. I have ordered (40) from Graf & Sons and will load it and give it a try. I did check the brass and bullets on Gunbroker and it is all resized 30-06 brass.

    338-06 Brass Needed

    Good day, I am looking for properly head stamped 338-06 brass. I know that I can easily make it from 30-06 brass but I am planning on taking me 338-06 to SA next year for my first plains game hunt, therefore the appropriately marked brass is essential. The only available brass that I have found...

    338-06 Barrel Marking

    I am having my Ruger Mark II Stainless 30-06 Springfield rebored/rechambered and made into a 338-06. Was thinking about having the factory barrel markings altered to read 338-06 Springfield. In other words, convert the factory zero into an 8 and then add another three in front of the factory 3...
