Ok, I'm loading up for a buddy's PSR. It's got 3 barrels .338 Lapua, .300 mag, .308. I've loaded for the .300 & .308 for years so no problem there. But on the .338 Lapua I need a little guidance. Had one a few years back and sold it ... Threw away all my data. Right now I'm running h1000 for the 300 smk and otm Berger. I don't like to dittle around and waste powder and bullets so I always start towards the upper middle. His recommendation was 90.5 to 91.0 grains h1000 , lapua brass , fgm215m. I'm gonna try jumping and kissing the lands but does this load sound about right?
300 smk
90.5 h1000
Lapua brass
215m
2.931 " to ogive. 20/1000" jump

I've already shot 88.5 r25 with great results but as we all know TEMP sensitive.
What you think fellas?

Yeah..... It's pretty bad ass
 
Skip the 300s for the 338 and go to the 285s.

AI worked with Hornady a lot, plus the 285s are better for the 338LM velocities.

I've actually got some 285's. Atleast I did... Gave them to this same guy. I've always loved Hornady bullets.... Cheap , effective, and easy to find. It's almost like they are dismissed bc of the price tag. Appreciate it Lowlight
