New Remy .338 Lapua ammo?

[Derrick300]

OK I have been reading a lot of posts about different overall lengths of factory .338 Lapua ammo. Looking for people with first hand experience with the Remy 700P and factory ammo that fits the mag and has good accuracy. I will be using this as a long range deer rifle on some large fields I hunt in Alabama so I'm looking for a factory round set up for killing not punching holes in paper.

Thanks in advance

I have fired Hornady 250gr HPBT, Blackhills 300gr HPBT and have seen 250gr HSM shot, this is from 2 seperate MLRs. No problem with the above rounds fitting in the mags, that includes the first release HSS mag and the new Remington AI wannabe mag.

I did not chrono the BH, but here's the vel. on the other 2:

Hornady (8230) 250gr - 2745 fps average
HSM (338Lapua-2) 250gr - 2830 fps average
