Anyone using 185g Lapua in a 300wm.

[tcmajor]

Got a box of these to try for a friend. Have not loaded these before. I have loaded many time for heavier bullets (208AMAX, 200SMK, 210VLD) just not sure were to start with these. If anyone has any info to share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Yes, it is my second best bullet.

For RE22, accuracy load is 73.8gr
For Magnum, accuracy load is 80.6gr

It is forgiving though so non-accuracy also shoots sub-0.5MOA

thanks.....I'm sitting on a little over 10lbs of RE22. Been using it on 208 AMAX with great success. Just curious to see how these 185's will shoot.
