Just got a Savage 110BA in 338 Lapua, Im looking for a load that can deliver sub moa accuracy using Sierra 300 gr HPBT Matchkings. Open to suggestions, the one load I wanted to use required VV 570 powder which seems to have been discontinued. TIA.

I run 92 gr. of Retumbo with 300SMK with my TRG. Is .5 MOA or less depending on how I shoot for the day.

If you're not shooting out past a mile, just go with the 250 Scenars or SMKs and something like H-4831sc (86-89grs), H-1000, VV-165, VV-170 and/or RL-25 and Retumbo.

Get the 250s up around 2950 fps and you're golden without the extra thump.

Thanks for the suggestions guys anybody else want to chime in? Please specify which number powder and which primers you are using and what your overall length is, and any other info that might help.

Thanks

93 gr of H1000 in Lapua brass with a CCI #34 or Federal 215 primer will easily deliver half moa and get you around 2800+ fps depending on barrel length. I've found the 300s seem to prefer seating between .020"-.030" off the lands.

What kind of speed are you getting with 92 Ret? Only ask because Hodgdon has their compressed load of 94gr at something slow as hell like 2600.

103.0 gr of US869,F215M primers, lapua brass and COAL 3.765" produces .5 MOA accuracy with boring regularity from my Rumble Wepnz built 338 LM.
