[QUOTE="lynxpilot, post: 1009711, member: 23349"] Bought a box of Barnes LRX (.338 / 280 gr) all copper bullets. They claim they are designed for 'long range'. They also tag them with "Lapua" and in the description on the website, do so to emphasize that the bullets need a strong push to get them to velocities where they are optimized for long range. I have a Weatherby Mk V in 338-378 but Barnes provides about zilch in load data. I'm inclined to start a workup using available load data for similar weight bullets (like SMK 300 gr). Anybody tried this combo of bullet and cartridge? Would like to at least get in the ballpark for starting and maximum loads. I have pretty much all of the powders that could fit into this category (H-1000/H50BMG/US869/H-4831). If somebody has a sweet load for this combo and is willing to part with that info, that would be ideal as opener is this coming Saturday. [/QUOTE]
