full lenght resize also anyone one use lubless dies? looking into them i need someone to talk me into them to spending the money

when you are chucking a .9 BC bullet, 10 grains of powder is not a hill of beans. velocity will always fall off, but bc is forever. shoot what the gun likes, not what you can stuff inside the case. if you get a load to go sub moa with a .9 bc and are any kind of shooter you have it made. think about it.....10 mph crosswinds don't mean enough to worry about at 400 on elk. try that with your 180gr bullet.....YOU JUST MISSED!

trajectory adjustments are easy to compensate for, especially when the BC is huge.......very repeatable

[bobcat]

I never heard of lubeless dies except for straight walled pistol cases. Is this something new?

Interesting read on that 300gr Berger.  Link

good read, I would be skeptical that a 1:10 338 win could spin it, the rums and edges coud no doubt, but you would likely have to pull the bolt to load it......they gonna be looooong

Yeah, an Edge with that bullet would be sweet.

yeah im not shooting 180grn bullets im shooting a 225grn , im not sure ive had several people tell me that Rcbs made lubless dies and i just looked on their website and i guess that they dont know the head from a hole in the ground.

I shoot a 338 win mag out beyond 1,000 yds. I use 250gr. matchkings with imr-4350 68.6 gr. of powder. cci 250 primers. Very accurate load velocity 2774 fps. I have also used speer 225 spbt with reload-19 pushing 3050 fps and higher. Very accurate but had a hard time getting all the bullets to seed the same due to lead tips... Havent tryed any other bullets would like to shoot 225 accubonds due to the high BC. but cant push them at the speeds I desire... So the 250 matchkings give you enough energy at long range to pumble anything in its way... Good luck any ?'s PM me

[elkslayer069]

alright will do thanks for the info sounds alittle more promising than the bergers

[Woodchuck]

UM....i have a question. what planet is the barrel pointed at when you hold over for a 1000 yd shot with a 250 gr. bullet? 

[demontang]

I shot the 225 accubonds out to 600 a lot this year and I'm very sure they will do the job on a elk at that range. Your looking at 60" of drop at 600yds with a muz vel of 2882fps.  With 300gr match king running at 2400fps you dropping 77" has 1887 fps and 2371ftlb vs 1990fps and 1976ftlb with the 225gr

I haven't tried pushing the noslers any faster yet because I'm well under .5moa with the load. I'm using imr4350 but there are powders that can push them faster.

I have killed two bulls at 500 yards or so, with 210 Nosler Partitions (factory ammo), dropped one in his tracks, the other ran about 100 yards and laid down.

Just read the link.  I have seen Bergers outperform many bullets in the field several times when it comes to long range accuracy.  After reading the link, I would not shoot anything else if you are planning shots beyond 600 yards.

The barrel is bent around and pointing at Uranus.
