First load H1000 90.5 gr. 300 grain scenar, Lapua Brass, federal gold medal match primers 215M. 2777 fps, one hole . Free recoil. What should I try next ? Retumbo or Reloder 33 ? Looking for 2800 fps. I can't believe how easy this rifle is to load for so far Very slight brass flow ..very slight !
 
Sounds like you are there. 25 fps. In the real world means nothing. Shoot and be happy.

Yes I'm sure 91gr. H 1000 will give me to 2800 Fps . Or jam it a little more in the lands . Reloder 33
Was supposably made for the .338 Lapua ? We will see? I am very happy ! Just something about 2800 M.V.
 
I got 2808 using H-1000 and a 300gr Scenar in a Surgeon XL .338 What is your barrel length, and measured COAL? Kreiger recommends a .015 +- jump.

My chamber is mil spec and uses a considerably shorter COAL. Add a suppressor and get the 25 you are looking for. Or just shoot the bugger as you have nailed it.
