Where are the 338 Lapua loads ?

[dvdt]

Can some of you guys share some .338 Lapua loads ?

I'm going to start loading .338 LM but I don't know what components I should be considering. I only saw a handful in the subthread above.

Is there a magic combo like there is for .308 ? I'm using some recommended loads there with lapua brass, 175 SMK, CCI BR2's and Varget. It's an outstanding load.

What powder are you guys using ?
What primer?
What bullet for 1000 yards ?



I picked up a 700p 338 LM with a 26 inch barrel and a 1:10 twist. The only thing I have my mind set on lapua brass and likely CCI LR Magnum primers (assuming primers start falling from the sky).

I appreciate any help you guys can throw my way.

Thanks for the links. That has most of the information I'm looking for...

How do you guys feel about CCI LR Mag vs. Fed 215M ?

The CCI Primers should work OK.
