I am wanting to put together a load for my lapua using the 280 LRX and RL33 anyone have any load data or more importantly some results? how are velocities of RL33 comparing to those of h1000 and retumbo?
 
Search button will be your best friend. Lots of threads on RL33 and Lapua. Bottom line: people are seeing about 100 to 150 fps over Retumbo (depending on caliber), but RL33 seems to burn dirtier and is more temp sensitive.

I'm well aware of the search feature but not finding what I want. Anyone with some actual info?
 
not the same bullet but I have ran 92 -97 gr of rl33 in a savage fcp 338L with the 300 gr berger otm 92gr was 2621fps , 93 2649 ,94 2666 , 95 2682 , 96 went 2717-2736-2727-2711 , 97 was error , this was using data from alliant s website for 300gr sierra mk bullets
