[QUOTE="vedauvoo, post: 2545622, member: 47024"] Interesting that you should ask. I hopped on this thread because I am a new owner of a 338 Norma and was looking for and found a wealth of load data. LPA Fuzion 338 action Bartlein 5R heavy Palma SS 27" barrel, 1:9.3" Accuracy International AX Long Action Chassis (.338) Silencerco Harvester Big Bore suppressed After fireforming new Lapua brass, my first trial loads were 300 gr Berger Elite Hunter, Fed 215M, and N568 (I found 4 lbs "reasonably priced" on a local gun exchange site). Temp 55 degrees. COAL 3.680 (max mag length) 88.0 gr 2584 ft/sec 89.0 2666 90.0 2694 91.0 2733 I tried to load 92.0 gr, but was volume limited to 91.0. No pressure signs at all. I'm still looking for H1000. But meanwhile, I am happy with the velocity, so I'm going to work from 91.0 gr. and see what kind of accuracy I can get. Hope that is helpful. And thanks everyone for contributing to this thread. It is a huge leg up on load development when resources are limited. [/QUOTE]
