    338 lapua dies

    Re: 338 lapua dies I like the Redding Type-S dies. I have the 3 die set and bought the 364 and 365 bushings. The 365 is perfect for Lapua brass.

    338 LM with Retumbo

    338 LM with Retumbo

    I'm looking to start working up a 338 LM load using 300gr Sierra MKs and Retumbo. Hodgdon says 85-94. I'm thinking somewhere in the 90-95gr area but that's a lot of ground to cover with expensive components. Does anyone have a favorite load that they would like to share?
