I know these are fairly new but was wondering if anyone else was working up a load with these and either IMR 8133 or RL26/ Im having a heckuva time finding the right combo.

I played with those powders when I first got a 338 lapua. Very quickly switched to Retumbo and H1000. Ended up getting my best results (SDs,Accuracy,Velocity) with H1000. I am using 285 ELDM so I would assume 270s wont be to far off. Using Lapua brass I am at 92gr of H1000 which has been the same load for the last three lapuas I have had.

what velocity are you getting with the 285 load?
Right at 2900. Just shot it out to 1K last weekend and was 22 MOA on the turret, that combo hammers. Ol girl is slippery in the wind.

I did 338 Lapua brass, Remy 9 1/2m primer, rl26, and 270 eldx in my lapua it shot good but would never repeat and ran out of bullets.

I am running imr8133, lapua brass, 300 grain smk and cci250 primers for my 338 lapua. 89.5 grains gives me a velocity of 2725 with the bullet seated at 3.703. That is out of a 26 inch barrel.
Accuracy has been excellent at 100 yards. No problem with hits out past 1300 yards.
