Hi Forward eyes.

With then .243 with 115 dtacs in Lapua Brass 46gr of RL 25 works for me.

With the .338 with 250 Scenar/SMK in Lapua Brass 91 gr of RL 25 works

With the .338 with 300 Scenar/SMK in Lapua Brass 88 gr of RL 25 works.

With the .338 with 300 Scenar/SMK in Lapua Brass 82.8 gr of N560 works.

All above are well below .5moa in my SRS


As normal start lower and work up.
Good luck

.338 LM
Lapua brass
R 9 1/2 M
H1000 89.9
300 Scener
2.971 @ olgive (.01 out of lands on my rifle)
2720 FPS

I used to run RL 25, but here in Vegas temps range from 30-110 F. Results were all over. Also this load is 2 grains below max while still giving great velocity. Accuracy on this load is amazing for such a large caliber, and below DTA's promise.

Re: DTA SRS loads ?

Does anyone have a recipe for the 308 175gr out of a DTA, or 208 AMax out of the 300win DTA? Didn't mean to hijack, just thought we would keep all the DTA stuff on one thread.

With a 175gr Sierra

45.4gr Varget in a Win case with 210M seated to 2.86" COAL works really well in my rifle. Your powder might be different than mine so work up to that.

Start low and work up
44.2
44.6
45.0
45.4
45.8

45.0 - 45.8 all worked well in my rifle with 45.4 shooting just under .5MOA.

Re: DTA SRS loads ?

Anyone with a 22" 308 168gr BTHP load? (Prefer Varget or TAC)?

So far i've had decent results with 44.0gr of Varget in 'PMJ 05' brass.

Re: DTA SRS loads ?

Fireguy, Thanks for the load. Maybe I haven't tried enough powder yet.

Re: DTA SRS loads ?

Should be back from Germany in Sept. I'll be working up a .308 load either 208 AMAX or 190 JLK if I can get my hands on them.

26" melonite coated .308 barrel

Once I get back I'll be in the market for either a .243 or 6.5mm barrel (leaning more towards the .243) and a 7mm kit.

Re: DTA SRS loads ?

I have 308 and use 168's and 175's running 44g of varget (adi 2208). Pretty good accuracy.

Re: DTA SRS loads ?

I have the 18" .338LM barrel and was having trouble finding some 'recipes'. I am not new to reloading but am certainly no expert either, and wanted to come up with a good hunting round for moose bear and caribou. I settled on the 225 grain Accubond since I had good results with the 180grain version in a 300WM. I also wanted to use one of Hodgdon's 'extreme' powders to try and minimize velocity variations due to temperature spread. So far, I've only been testing at 100 yards (As this is the range that I have quick and easy access to. I've fired thus far only to 500m, but it's a bit of a drive for me to get to extended ranges). So far, this is what I've come up with:

Bullet - 225 gr Accubond
Brass - once fired Lapua
Primer - Federal Gold Medal 215M
Powder - H4350 - 85.0grains
C.O.A.L - 3.690
Avg. Velocity 2720fps

This is 1.0 grains higher than the 84.0 grains published as maximum in the Hodgdon data, but I didn't see any pressure signs and the bolt was easy to lift.

I selected the H4350 as it is a little faster than H4831 and with the 18" barrel n the Covert, Retumbo would be much too slow.

At 100 yards, 4 out of five rounds made one hole, but I know that's not really a good test. At 500 meters, I kept all five rounds on an 8.5 x 11" piece of paper, although I'm currently running a 3-12x50 S&B PM II. and was shooting off a wooden deck.

I haven't played with seating depth yet, nor done any ladder testing, just working up to try and maximize velocity out of the short barrel while keeping an eye open for pressure.

Hopes this helps,

Jim
