[QUOTE="SHRTSHTR, post: 621432, member: 12514"] I started out with 96 grains of Retumbo and Fed 215 Mag primers for fireforming. 300 gn smk's .02 off the lands. Your rifle may be different than mine. I would suggest starting a couple grains lower and work up from there. Watch for pressure signs as you go. My fireformed loads are running 100 grains Retumbo at 2955 fps. I can load hotter but I backed off a couple grains when I saw pressure signs. 100 grains was also my sweet spot with this rifle. I use Redding competition dies and like them better than my custom made Neil Jones dies. I think Hornady make dies for the 338 LAI as well. [/QUOTE]
