Reloading For A B.a.r .338

maas · November 15, 2005, 09:23 PM

I just bought bar 338 and was wondering what loads worked best in it? i havn't picked the gun up yet (10 day rule gotta love it) but i alredy reloaded 20 rounds with 69 grns of reloader 19 and 250 grn nosler partration bullets. This load is 60% the max i can go is 73 grns. i just wanted to know what this gun can handle and if you guys had a load that i should try.
thanks

Remember reloading means you have to do the work! What works in one gun might not be safe in yours! You will more then likely need small base dies to size the brass for the BAR. RCBS makes one, but you might be better off getting it straight from them!
