I recently got a savage 110 BA in .338 Lapua Mag. I have ordered the reloading equipment for the gun, but it seems that the powder is being shipped separately. The only powder I have on hand is H380. Would this work, or should I wait for the proper powder to get here? By the way im shooting 300gr scenars

Wait, H380 is to fast it compares to Reloader 15 in burn rate, you need a much slower powder like Reloader 25.

I would hold off on using the H380. You'll catch a pressure spike and blow your gun, and maybe your face apart! Sounds like a bad day at the ER to me.....

Yep, wait for the RL25. Or find some RL22, 4831SC or Retumbo locally.

You might want to spend some time reading our 'reloading depot' tacked at the top of this section.
The fact that you're even asking if H-380 is suitable, tells me that you haven't done your homework.
Spend some time reading your reloading manuals, or anything to do with the 338LM online. There are a lot of choices out there, but H-380 isn't one of them.

Re: .338 Lapua Magnum Powder
Some people recommended Ramshot Magnum.
I haven't tried it yet myself - but hopefully will do so soon.

In My 110BA the best results I got were with H1000 and US 869. VV 5 series powders work great but are hard to come by in these parts
Shot a lot of RL22 and 25 and IMR 4350 (the sierra "accuracy" load is crap) The two powders mentioned gave really good nodes at around the right velocity
