Talked with Mike Brady over at North Fork and his recommendation for the bullet choice for the .338-06 is the 225 grn. and not the 250-just not enough velocity given for the round or bullet to work properly. Now that I have a couple of boxes coming in and with a # of RL15 what would you expect out of my 22" bbl to be the max. velocity? My Nosler 5th ed. gives the 225 @ 2570 fps., suppose this is the norm for this round? Read quite abit of some really pushing this caliber upwards towards the .338 arena and it is not.
It was pointed out to me that the runout of this round can be excessive if you do not use headstamped brass. I ordered 60 rounds of Wthby .338-06 brass as well and Reddings 3pc. die set. If I choose to use .06 brass is the norm for preventing runout is to use the Type S bushing by Redding? Boy reloading is expensive
!! but intriguing.
