[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 303239, member: 505"] The 338 lapua loads are seated to touch the lands. The 200 grain bullet is 3.703 and the 250 is 3.623. Just depends on the ogive of the bullet but most hit from 3.62-3.72 in my rifles. The fastest load I had in my lapua rifles listed was 3157 fps with the 250 but no accuracy so I settled at the 3125 fps load. The accuracy loads in my 338-300 ultramags run high 3000's to right at 3100 fps with the 250 and 3325 fps with the 200. The top accuracy loads in my 340 weatherby averages 3057 fps with the 250 gameking and 3284fps with the 215 gameking. I have used those loads for 30 years. The Lazzeroni Titans I chronographed fell right in this range also with max loads. There is just not enough difference between any of these that you would notice while hunting and taking game.
