And, those 500gr are LONG and massive! I MAY need a Lott yet! Ha! Ha!Yeah for that price I don’t care if the bullet “petals” expand or not! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Turn on your vibrating case cleaner and touch it to it.I know a man who vibrates them with an electric razor.
Dr Ray,H335 and w748 are the same as far as I know. Those powders are, I believe, just packaged differently.
Dr Ray,
I just looked up the powder speed chart in my Hornady reloading manual. H335 is up 18 clicks faster than W748? Close enough for me! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Yes, I’ve looked at it. But no 748 mentioned? A lot of these companies display the powder they have a financial interest in. A subsidiary of the company? Nothing wrong with that, just not every powder available to use with a particular cartridge/load?Barnes has load data online for free.
Yes, I’ve used it for years reloading my .308 and .22-250. But, since being here on AH, I’ve been coerced into reloading BIGGER stuff! Ha! Ha!I think 748 was developed to be the best for the 308. I’ve used 748 in 222/22/250 and I think (mighty long time ago) 45/70.

Oh I AM CAREFUL! Many eons ago, at age 18, I reloaded my .270 with 63gr of H4831. Too hot! Shot at a wild pig, got it but didn’t know it, as I only saw a large muzzle flash through the scope and the bolt locked up on Winchester M 70. Been careful ever since!Be careful. Find the one 4064 ADI equivalent. Or use 4064.
I love my .338 and probably wouldn’t NEED any caliber larger unless I make it to Africa for DG. But I really enjoy shooting the larger calibers and now want to enjoy reloading them? As for bad influence, I think it’s like a plague here on AH! Ha! Ha! Ha!I’m now into big cartridges now myself. My 338 is being neglected severely.
Just chatting to friend who up graded to 338 on my recommendation and now he’s going to get a 416 Remington magnum (what I call a non- wimps cartridge).
I’m being beginning to thinking the bad influence ! Oh woe is me!
Yep. Hornady manual shows 760 just one click up from 414.For reference, I called hodgon and they told me h414 and W760 were the same powder and that I could interchange load data.
Off topic here, but I’ve researched the .416 Remington and .416 Rigby. BOTH are GREAT looking cartridges on paper. Don’t own or have shot either. Maybe availability of rifles and cartridges where one lives is the deciding factor? But, being the rebel and cheap SOB that I am, I’m still looking at the Taylor for .416 caliber if I ever buy one, because I can form the cases from my .458 brass, which I have plenty of. And if I were to take it to Africa or Texas hunting, I could purchase Norma Brass with the proper headstamp so I wouldn’t be hassled at the border. Ha! Ha! Ha!I’m now into big cartridges now myself. My 338 is being neglected severely.

Maybe, but just “thrifty”? I guess I’m on the wrong website! Ha! Ha!You’re starting to sound like an accountant
