185 juggernaut/otm tactical on elk

[Mike D Texas]

To be honest I stepped away from that project. Built an 18'' 300WSM and the MV with the 185 jugg was less than I was hoping for. Waiting on dies for a new 338 Lapua AI and plan on trying nose rings on the 250gr SMK. Shortish 24'' bbl so the add MV with a 250gr beats the 300gr pills for the distance I am capable of.

What velocity were you looking for?

I was getting 2550fps with the Juggs and a little over 2600fps with 180EH without pressure signs on ADG brass. Accuracy and ES was fantastic. I might just have a slow barrel though. Will likely try the 168 Hybrids for ~2800fps+ and if I get there work the Nose Ring in.

On the 338 LI I just finished the first round of fireforming and plan to work load dev with H1000 and the 250's, maybe N565 if needed. Sounds like N570 is pure magic with the 300gr pills.

Something was way off with that setup. I have a 21” 300 SAUM improved (similar case capacity as 300WSM) and get over 3000fps with 185 Juggs and RL26. N570 was too slow.
