At 2,300fps, the 270gr. worked just fine for me at 200yards. I ran out of 270's, so have a 50 rounds loaded with 286gr. plastic tipped Norma's and 30 or so TUGs. They both shoot into the same group. Actually, the 270's, 286Normas, 285 Privi's, 293 TUGS and re-sized 300gr. RN Hornadys all shoot into the same group. The re-sized 225gr. Hornady and 232gr. Normas and re-sized 235's Speers strike 2" higher, which is perfect. The 232gr. Vulcans or Oryx would probably do just as well on the average moose and due to the flatter trajectory, would be better all-round, I suppose. I use either H4895 or BLC2 and easly achieve 2,450fps. I suspect Reloader #15, ie: N203 would work just as well, with almost identical loading. Your M98 is stronger than the M46 I have & can easily exceed it's ballistics, if you so desire. Factory ammo by Norma is very slow, ie; 2,050fps with a 286gr. You can easily make it do 2,200fps with 286gr. in a M46 (M96 Swede)with quite low pressures so the M98 should add another 75fps to 100fps. It is an easy rifle to shoot accurately, and worked for me at 200yards - open sights - filed to a wide V worked perfectly. |
