i need factory 338 laupa ammo. whay brand is best?

Re: i need factory 338 laupa ammo. whay brand is best?

I've used both hornady 250gr match and lapua 300gr scenar factory ammo in my savage, the lapua shoots slightly better, and the brass is much better quality. The rifle likes the 300gr better, but yours may be different depending on twist, if it's not 1:10" or faster, shoot the 250gr.
I believe black hills uses hornady or Norma brass, both of which I've heard are inferior to the lapua.

I just ordered some 338LM 300grn lapua scenar ammo from Mike and Zack at Southwest Ammo.Great prices for Hide members and they have Ammo available.I hear it shoots real good too.I'll be finding our soon enough,but you should contact them and see what they can do for you.

All my Black Hills is Lapua brass.

Ruag makes extremely good ammo.

I haven't tried Southwest's 338 ammo but their 308 is very good.

I have a friend with a case of Blackhills 250gr 338LM that he is looking to sell. He will probably work a little better deal than any dealers can, just to off load it (probably something like $10 off a box of 20). PM me a number and I will get back to you.
