Kneedeeps handle needs to be redone after this trip
He also looked @ me funny ( I had plenty of those looks
) when on the way to the airport I said this song has his name in it 
On a scerious note his wisdom is pretty good imo & one I am so greatfull to spend time around the campfire with
Cheers
Thanks for that. R26 with a 200 gr afterburner gets me 3200 FPS out of my 23” barrel 338 RUM right now. This is with ADG brass. I’m sure the HHT should get close to that velocity.
I just purchased Bertram 338 RUM brass, compared it to Remington brass, weights were heavier with Bertram but the window of consistency was considerably tighter than Remington.
Remington 266-273 grains in weight-weighing 6 cases
Bertram 273-276 grains in weight- weighing 6 cases
Velocities with same powder charge. 88 grains H4350 with 213hh
Remington brass-3372-3396-3355=3374 average ES 41
Bertram brass-3370-3372-3384=3375 average ES 14
Granted this is a small sampling but noticeable.

Here is some 338 RUM data with the 210HHT ( actually weighs 212 )
26” Bartlein barrel
Bertram brass new
215m primer
OAL 3.587
1/4 crimp
95 grains IMR 7828ssc
65 degrees
3 shots 3461-3467-3459=3462 average mid day shooting.
It’s a 3/8”-3/4” 3 shot grouper for me, some days are better for me, meaning operator error!
I doubt Kodiak island will be warmer than this in 2 weeks and most likely the shot will be sub 200 yards, just as a reference, running this through Hornady ballistic calculator, see below on energy. This powder is temperature sensitive but I just can’t let go of the gain in velocity. It’s a 100 fps faster than 88 grains H4350 and same group sizes. This load is the max in Nosler reloading Manuel for 210 bullet.
Distance Energy. Drop.
Muzzle 5642
100 yds. 5088. 0
200 yds. 4572. -1.7”
300 yards. 4092. -7”

What are you going after in Kodiak and where? I used to live there....
Always ran into plenty of bear out there deer hunting! Lost a few deer to them too. Good luck finding one that suits you, I have no doubt you'll see a few.

Reemtyj, I joined the old forum to get in on the discussions about the balance of a pill and what makes one pill perform better than another. I chose Kneedeep to remind myself that was as far as I was willing to wade into those conversations.

I’m glad you have this pill for your bear hunt. It’s as impressive of a pill as I’ve seen to date. The 210 has incredible pressure and bubble at 2460ish impacts. At almost 3100 impact the shaped charge is still heading in the right direction. It’s only downside would be a large entry hole on a steep raking shot. It has an incredible first stage and bubble. I’m eagerly waiting to hear the results on these large bears.
As a side note, it also opens well under 1700fps on light resistance (wallaby).
