[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2631834, member: 3230"] I have two Lapuas; one is a straight factory Savage and the other is a Stiller/McM/Brux custom. Both love 88 gr Retumbo under either a 300 Berger or a 285 ELD. The Savage load is now 91 grn of 8133; I know it is discontinued, but I have plenty right now and can always switch back. The biggest thing I have found with any load is OAL. I know there are supporters of ladder tests, but IMO distance to the lands trumps charge. My Savage is relatively indifferent, but the custom Lapua likes them seated way out. I would also add my Savage suddenly started grouping poorly. I wiggled the scope, and viola - the base screws were loose. My Stiller is pinned. I have had this happen more than once with hard kicking rifles. As for groups somehow shrinking at 200, haven't we beat that dead horse/myth to death? [/QUOTE]
