250 Bergers with Retumbo and 338 Lapua

[Bowtie1]

What would be a good starting point for 338 Lapua with 250 Bergers Extreme Hunters and Retumbo in terms of grains? Targeting 2950 fps ultimately. Fed 210 primers, 27" bbl Christensen LR. Thanks in advance…..

I didn't see anything listed as "extreme hunters", but did see "elite hunter".

I use a 285gr Barnes TSX over 92gr of Retumbo in my Reming 700 in .338 Lapua Magnum.
