Reloader 33

[Who Dat]

Has anyone used Reloader 33 in their 338 Lapua and what were your results.

I used it when I was loading for the Lapua but it was last year and I don't remember too many specifics :/ I remember using 95 grains and it metered pretty decent out of the hornady powder dispenser , each stick of powder is 1/10 of a grain so its real easy if you need to trickle .
I will have to go back in my old data book to get bullet speeds and other specifics, I will look that up tomorrow and update here ..

Look forward in seeing your data, I want to try something different then H1000, I have not seen any hard data yet if it is temp sensitive. Thanks

Hello Who Dat,
Hornady Brass, CCI 250 primer, Midway usa 250 gr bullet, 100.5 grs of RL-33 shoots same point of impact
as Hornady factory 250 gr. loads at 300 yds. With max listed load of 103.5 grs I did not see any pressure
signs in my AR-30a1 but point of impact was 4.5" higher at 300 yds than the other load. I have shot the
100.5 gr load at 300 yds in temperature between 50* to 90* and did not see change in point of impact here
in central Florida. Hope that helps.

Okay so far in cool weather. We will see this summer if it's still okay. Excellent accuracy as usual with this rifle.

I have been shooting the RL33 almost a year now. I use 103grns behind the 300SMK at 2996 out of my edge. That is in the summer months at 80 degrees, however in the winter it drops my velocity to about 2940 with the same 103 grns.
