Any idea what type of powder and how much they use in their loaded ammo?
Or what powder is recommended for the 285M?
Thanks

No Retumbo here, so I went with H1000. Has anyone tried the new LRT powder from Ramshot?? Just got an 8lb jug from Midway today to try. SUPPOSEDLY comparable to Retumbo, with maybe a higher velocity. Gonna reload some tomorrow and give it a try.
The 338 Edge has a nearly identical case capacity as the 338 LM...
With the 285 ELD-Ms here what I've found out...
H1000 very accurate, very clean, but above 91 grains I pop primers.
Retumbo...meh
Reloder 33 very fast, average accuracy, very dirty, UNTIL you get up in the pressure curve, and then for some reason it seems to burn cleaner. How?...I dunno...
IMR8133, very dirty, very inaccurate in my gun. Just couldn't get it to shoot good.
N570... frickin magical unicorn dandruff! Super fast, and very accurate!
Good luck!
