338 Remington Ultra Mag

We developed the following data in a Remington 700 BDL rifle. We changed the wooden stock that came with it, and installed the barreled action into an H-S Precision stock. We installed a Leupold 4.5-14 scope on the rifle, using Leupold rings and bases

Federal 215 primers and Remington brass was used in all our loads. All groups are 3 shots at 100 yards.

 The following loads were developed by our friend James, who kindly agreed to let us add them here. The rifle was a custom Remington 700, with a Douglas Premium, stainless steel barrel finished at 26". James used Remington brass and the Federal 215 primers. All groups were 3 shots at 100 yards. Some of those groups were not chronographed, that is why there is no velocity mentioned for them.
