[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1482974, member: 11960"] Since you already have the 338 Lapua and all the brass and dies, just build a 20” Lapua. You’ll get better performance than you’d think without the need to mess around with different powders than you use in a rifle. If I were doing it, I’d just go with whichever 338 I have brass for or would fit in the action I have on hand, a 20” barrel from any decent maker, and shoot 250gr bullets at 2800 fps or so. I easily get the 260gr Hammer Hunter to 2730 fps from an 18” barreled 338/375 Ruger and H100-V. A 20” RUM or Lapua will get you in the 2850+ fps range with no problem with a 250 class bullet.
