AR30 338LM, 1000 yards +, loads? boxed ammo?

[Extreme454]

I just recently aquired an AR30 in 338 Lapua.

I am looking for some feedback on your custom loads and also any experience you may have with boxed ammo.

I am also just getting in to reloading, for my 7wsm, and waiting on the dies for my 338.

I assume barrel specs are all the same, but just in case:
26"
1:10

Any results with either custom loads or boxed would be helpful.

I'm just getting my feet wet with it, and I'd like somewhere to start.

Oh, and yes, I will always be shooting 500 yards plus, and mostly looking for 1000-1500-2000 yard information. My shooting partner has 600 acres, its heaven.

Thanks in advance.

This is a pretty good link to bookmark, I didn't see anything specifically on the 338LM but there's stuff in there for your 7 WSM.

Thanks, I'll check it out for sure.

Looking forward to anyone that has specific experience with the AR30 in 338LM.

Box ammo... Try Black Hills... either the 250 or the 300's...

I use the 250grn Match Ammo...

Im shooting a modded Remington MLR 338LM with a 10 twist barrel.

Its LOVES the black hills ammo.

Matt.

My AR30 shoots 1/2 MOA with 90g of VV N170 pushing a 300g SMK. Lapua brass and Federal GM 215 primer. I read somewhere that H1000 is a good substitute since N170 is impossible to find these days.
