Setting up for 338 lapua.

[hula]

Setting up loading for 338 Lapua. I've tried the advance search for 338 loads to no avail. I'm using new Lapua brass and I'll use 215M primers. Looking for recommendations on powders for 250 SMKs and die recommendations. I use a Forrester micrometer die on my 308 and like it, so I may stick with it.

Check the reloading depot just right under the heading of this section. You should find plenty loads for this popular caliber.

Buy lots of Retumbo and 300smk's.

Retumbo, RL25, H1000, IMR4350.

Fed215M primers are the way but you can use CCI's in there place.

I've gone to Sierra 300's but I used to use Lapua 250's.

Here is a link to a thread discussing .338LM dies. Personally I use the Redding competition dies, but Forster dies are also very good. http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...804#Post1262804
