Ralpharama Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 As I didn't get on with my Barrett I'm part exing it out for an AI AXMC also in .338 Lap Mag. 27" 1 in 9.35 barrel I found N570 a tad slow so have invested in some RS76. I have a shed load of Hornady 285gr ELD-Ms. Barrel is 27" 1 in 9.35 twist and I'm using the recommended Lapua cases QuickLoad suggests an absolute max of 95.5grs of RS76. Anyone on here got a real life loads they have found good ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 I’m using RS 76 with 285 Eldm’s in an AXMC but with Krieger custom 20” barrel. Load is 92.0 grain RS 76 with CCI magnum primers, 95.5mm COAL. Lapua Brass: H2O capacity 100 grains. Caution with the Eldm’s, my Krieger barrel loves them but a friend’s AXMC when he had a U.K. factory barrel on it was shooting gatherings rather than groups. A Bartlein AI USA barrel fixed that. His 27” U.K. AI barrel and my 25” U.K. AI barrel ( Jordan contract- yes they did make a 25” barrel for a specific Jordan contract) both shoot Lapua 250 and 300 grain pills just fine so I. suspect a difference in throating reamers.

Ralpharama Posted March 14 Author Report Share Posted March 14 Very interesting. Fingers crossed that mine likes them as I have bought a good stock of 285 ELDs. The Barrett didn’t like ‘em either 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
