250gr OTM loads for the 338 Norma

[264shooter]

I have a good load for the 300gr OTM and 90grs of N570 that gives me very good accuracy and 2750fps.
I have been looking for published load data for the 338 Norma with not much luck.
Also thought I did a pretty good job of searching here on the hide.
I think N570 might be a little slow for 250 OTM Bergers.
Any information on powder and load data for the 250's would be appreciated.
Thank you

You might call one or two of the Powder manufactures. They sometimes will have unpublished data for things not in a manual. Some have been very helpful for me.

A 250gr bullet is still pretty heavy, I would think the 570 would be perfect. That is what I would try first.
A friend shoots a 300 Norma, 230gr Berger, 86gr of 570, the faster powders didn't give favorable results.
Keep us posted, I'm curious.
