[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 436398, member: 505"] Mine got mid to high 2900's fps with the 300 smk and 3200 fps with the 250 grain bullets. The 250 Hornady match was not out at that time but I shot it in other rifles and could not get acceptable accuracy from it. Back then my best accuracy loads were winchester WMR powder. It was discontinued. I also used H-1000 and Re-25 with good results. Retumbo was not out either at that time but I agree it would probably be one to try. Dave Tooley posted excellent results in 1000 yard competitions with the new Hornady 285 grain match bullet soon to be released. The 338 Lapua improved is an excellent cartridge. There are many versions. I like the ones with the shoulder pushed forward slightly. Research and make sure you get a good improved version of the lapua. There can be some difference between them.
