[QUOTE="alaska, post: 1166747, member: 23096"] I have been shooting the Lapua for 5 years now AR 30 and Rem 700 My favorite load 91.0of H1000 (my favorite is 91.5 at 2800 FPS) But excellent accuracy at 91.0. 300 gr Berger hunting and OTM ( best BC of all the Bullets) WLRM Lapua Brass COAL at 3.680" 2783 FPS in 26" In the beginning I had a lot problems with brass I was using Hornady Brass and it would expand in the chamber during firing and had to use a rod to tap it out. Switched to Lapua brass........never had a problem since. Suggest powders with 250 grain bullets ......Reloader 26 and H1000 300 grain bullets........Reloader 33 and H1000 Really like H1000 in the 338 Lapua and 338 Rum Military loads by Black Hills loads 250 Sierra MK at 3000 FPS and 300MK at 2800 FPS.......so I don't load anything faster than 2800 FPS with 300gr to preserve throat life on barrel.
