Looking for best commercially loaded ammo for a 338 Lapua with a 30" Broughton Barrel in 1-9.3 Twist.

Yes, I know, reloading is the best.

But...if not reloads, what would work well with this barrel?

I'll be shooting out to 2200 yards, that is aiming to hit targets at 2200 yards, ideally hitting something out there too. :)
 
You have a few options but it will cost over $6 per round for the 300 grain OTM type bullets. If it were me I would save a little and get the Hornady 285 ELD-M. MIDWAY has them on sale for 85.99 or $4.30 per round and are a very good bullet( I reload these for my .338LM). If you want a 300 grain I would get Black Hills. If you are looking for more speed Lapua 250 grain. These would be my top 3 choices. Good luck. My best shot is 2137 yards with a hit on 3rd shot.
