Hi all, some may know I've a Ruger M77 Hawkeye .338 WM on the way. I got a Leupold Freedom 2-7 to mount, and am beginning collecting components for initial loading, just to get used to the rifle at the range.
Just looking for a couple of thoughts for early shooting. Looking for powders, and (cheaper, range target) bullets to consider. In terms of powder, would IMR 4350 or 4831 be a good couple of options? I'll likely be using Hogdon's manual for load development.
Thanks.
