338 Lapua any data for RL 33

[bearbait]

I just got my 338 Lapua back from Bartlain Barrals ready to work up a load. Would like to try Reloader 33. Any one have some experience with this powder. Any good loads? Appreciate any help. I am using Berger 300 gr Hybrid Elite Hunter Bullets.

I have just begun to test with RL33 using fed 215 primers in a standard Edge, 28" bartlien barrel, Berger 300 grn Otm. OAL 3.830 on the lands. I started with 98 grns and finished at 106.5 3005 fps average, just beginning to show pressure on the primer, no where else. Nice groups, very happy with it!

Comparison: The first 60 rounds down the tube I started with H1000 went up to 92grns, FLAT primers no other sign of pressure-2808 fps. .010 off the lands.

I hope this helps, I'd like to hear from others!

I have been shooting H 1000 and get pressure and bolt lift problems at 91.5. Best load was at 90 gr. but only got 2700 ft/sec. Were the RL 33 loads compressed?

Yes, a bit. I could tell it was beginning to touch at 105grns.
