Hey folks,

I would like to get some information from you.

Rifle: A new Savage 110FCP in 338 Lapua.
Brass: Norma brass
Powder: Retumbo
Primer: Federal 215 Large Magnum Rifle Primer
Bullets: Berger Elite Hunter 300 Grain

The Berger website lists Retumbo at 85 to 89.5 grains for 2551 to 2680 FPS.

So if you have experience using the components that I have I'm interested in your load data that has produced your most accurate load.

Background info: As is I have just run 25 rounds through it and it is a pussycat with 86 grains. I have a 400 yard range available locally, no further. I got this rifle for target practice but I do plan to get out hunting a few times this year so dual purpose.

Thanks!
 
Great stuff playing with same firearm out in the extreme heat of Arizona. Working my way up the ladder with 300 Berger's in the mag box loads currently at 89.7 of H1000 @ 2650 always fun sending them.
