I am looking for any recommended reloads for this sledgehammer.
What have been your accuracy loads?

Use all reloading information with caution.

Here are a few:

Be sure to check a couple of good reloading manuals as well as using the other powder and bullet manufacturers websites for valid information. Use a good search engine to locate more information.

Best.

Suitable powders:

V V N-165
Retumbo
H-1000
Ramshot Magnum
MagPro

Had one of these custom made on a BBK-02 action back in 1990. Way before it bacame a factory cartridge. My best load was with 115 grains of H1000 and the Nosler 250 grain Partition. It was crossing the chronograph at 3153 FPS from my 26" Lilja barrel. Reduce that load by 8 grains and slowly work up.

I am sorry to say that i cannot give you any info on what you are requesting, but wanted to throw out that in my 340 wby I use the 210 partitions and have dropped elk in their tracks and have literally blown mule dear (all 4 i have shot with this load) off of their feet...in my opion, if you find the right load accueacy wise for the 210's, you will not need anything more in the lower 48 ! goodluck !
