Welcome from Texas. 560 should be good for those. I'd take a hard look at 565/570 for the Lapua. In a pinch 560 might work. Let us know what ends up working for you

Now is definitely a pinch, so I took what I could get. I'm going to try it with some 250's out of the 338, hoping it will do ok with the lighter projectile.

Thank you, possibly someone will chime in with some experience.

I appreciate your time sir! I'm in TN as well. Mid TN. It's basically all I could find at the time, and was hopeful it would at least give me a good start. I've heard great things about N570, but it's pretty rare right now. Would you use a mag primer?

definitely a magnum primer of course it's hard to get as well I also have a good success with retumbo

Thankfully I've got a few magnums, enough to get us through hopefully. The retumbo on the other hand is like trying to find unicorn tears...

Compared to many on this site and others I am just a small fry but I have been through this before so I am much better off than some

Welcome. I would get on Vihtavuori website. They have load data for all those calibers and you can look at the n560

I have looked around and bookmarked that site. I was just wondering if anyone had any personal experience. In the 338 for instance- I've read of guys having good experiences using just large rifle primers opposed to magnums... just trying to gather as much information as possible. I've researched quite extensively, just seems to be a wormhole! I guess I just need to start my own testing and learn from what I gather. Just trying not to burn up more components than necessary is all.

As a rule of thumb when powder charges get over 60 Grains you need a magnum primer
