.348 Win Ammo

[Danger7]

Thanks for letting me join. I just purchased a Browning Model 71 .348. I'm looking for Hornady 200grn FTX bullets. I'm also looking for brass and bullets to reload. Any help would deeply appreciated. thanks.

Check out Hawk bullets. They offer many different weights. The Hornady FTX bullets are hard to find. Brass is spotty too.

It is a hell of a cartridge in a beautiful rifle.

Thanks 348 Win appreciate the lead!!

Starline is showing it in stock now. Better get some while it is there!

IMR-4895 has been an excellent powder for accuracy but it is hard to find too.

Starline brass, that is. Sorry I was not more specific.

Hogdon shows IMR-4895 in stock.

IMR-4350, H-4350, RL-15, and Varget will all serve well with bullets up to 200 grains. I also think H-4895 would do well.

Great stuff thanks 348Win. I checked Strakine 348 Win is backordered so I put myself in the Que.

Avoid the temptation to load maximum charges. The rifle can handle them fine but the brass stretches and this will cause shorter case life. With 348 brass being hard to find, doing everything possible to maximize case life is wise. Loads in the 3300-3400 fps range with a 200 grain bullet are plenty powerful.

The 200 grain bullets are the most common but, in my opinion, are alittle stout for deer. They do not expand much but they do get the job done. The Hawk 180 grain bullet is a better choice. The Hawk 165 grain bullets are devastating on deer.

Do you have any brass or ammo?
