Varget may work also, but also IMR3031

Got a couple of starters loaded up last night, two in 338-06AI and two .308. I'll do more tonight. Won't get to shoot until this weekend though.

One take away after loading my first hammer bullets.....the feedback back through the handle from the ridges on the bullets as they are seated is VERY satisfying!

Loaded a couple more tonight. This is A 338-06AI, 213gr HH

Fire Formed Norma 338-06AS Brass

CCI 200 primers

Alliant 2000-MR (I'll post my powder charge once I get A final load)

.35 Whelen brass works best for the 338-06AI. 30-06 or 338-06AS brass are both out of spec (a little short when fire formed to 338-06AI). But I am working up loads with the Norma brass because I need the 338-06 head stamp for travel to Africa where they are likely to match the rounds to the rifle.

Soon...hopefully this weekend. My first finished load, hopefully tomorrow is .35 Whelen with the 245gr PH. I started another thread about the Whelen. I was concentrating on the 338-06AI first but got distracted by the crappy load data on Hammers website for the .35 Whelen with heavier bullets.

Hoping this is my first completed load with Hammer bullets. 35 Whelen with the 245gr PH. Have eight loaded up, going to shoot two 100yd 4 shot groups. If that turns out decent I'll post all of the specifics.

Welp, don't pitter patter, just get at'er!
I had great luck with AA2520 & Varget out a 9.3X62 250gr Accubonds.
