I just bought a new rifle that I want to reload for and I've been searching everything I can find online and in my book to try to get reloading data, but I still come up a little short. My rifle is a CZ 550 HET in .338 Lapua. So far, I have just started acquiring components and haven't even fired the rifle yet. I just bought a set of full-length dies and a neck sizing die, I have 100 new Lapua brass cases, 2,000 Federal Match Large Rifle Magnum Primers, 2 pounds of N560 and 2 pounds of Accurate MagPro. I also have 100 Lapua Scenar 300gr bullets and 100 Sierra Gameking 250gr bullets.
My choice of powder, primers and bullets has been based completely on what was available for purchase as we all know that almost everything has been sold out. Therefore, I now have N560 and MagPro powders along with the 300 grain Lapua Scenar and 250 Gameking bullets. I have found some good data on the Lapua website for the Lapua bullets with N560 powder. However, I'm having trouble locating anything in specific reference to the 250 grain Sierra Gamekings with either of the powders that I have. I have tried google searches in every way that I can think of and I'm not coming up with much.
I only own one reloading manual...the Lee manual, so I think I probably need to purchase more manuals. I have been reloading for several years, but have only loaded for 3 different calibers so far. I'm familiar with the data I need for those calibers, but this 338 Lapua is going to be a whole new experience for me. Can you guys please direct me toward a source that would have good data for what I'm interested in? Any other info on where to locate load data for specific bullet/powder combinations would be greatly appreciated as well!
