.338LM dope anyone?

I'm taking my AIAW .338 LM out to the desert this weekend and only have 28 rounds of ammo.

I don't have any dope info for it past 600 yards so I was hoping one of the Hiders could give me their dope info so I had a good starting place and don't waste rounds.

Here's my rifle info:

338LM 27" barrel
250 SMK Lapua Factory and 300 Black Hills Factory ammo
~2900 FPS

I'd like to get dope info in Mils from 1000 yards to 2000 yards.

Anything that would get me close is appreciated.

Thanks!

Where are you shooting, if you don't mind me asking? And when? I'm heading to Palm Springs for a conference first thing Sat morning. Good shooting.
 
Re: .338LM dope anyone?

I chrono my 08 AIAWSM 338LM the 250 scenars from Lapua to be around 2950 fps. Didn't chrono any 300 scenars. I don't know if your new barrel has a faster twist rate, but mine has 1:11". Hope it helps. You can go the JBM website and figure the ballistic data as suggested above.
