best bullet / load for a AWM in 338 Lapua 10 twist

Re: best bullet / load for a AWM in 338 Lapua 10 twist

If you indeed have a 1 in 10 twist try 300smk, 92.5 Retumbo, wolf LRM primer this is an awesome load in my rifle.(Same as yours)

Work up to this and try at your own risk!!!

Are you sure you have a 1:10 twist? I just got my last September and it was a 1:11 twist. Still I didn't have any problem stabilizing it out to 1500 + yards. Need to stretch it further to see how far though.

Just bought the rifle its never been shot and specs are 1 in 10

Is it an AIAWSM from Stacey? If it's 1:10", then I really need to talk to Stacey. I am sure your 1:10" will be great for the 300 SMK. My 1:11 did it fine, but I don't know how well it does out to 1 mile +.

I have a 1 in 10 barrel that I got from Stacey but I was told that it was a very old barrel. The original AWSM's were 1 in 10.

I didn't know if AINA released their new barrels for the AIAWSM. I know that they were working on faster twist barrels, but I didn't think it was that fast.

D, nothing ready yet, we are working with several different twist and setups. Later in the year I would expect the offerings to be available.
