[QUOTE="mpk1996, post: 1226556, member: 27656"] if its a new barrel (which I am assuming it is since you are fireforming for the first time) I would rec loading up some std load 338 L ammo and shoot it. it will be good practice and help get some rounds down the barrel so the speed stabilizes out before you really start load development. I shoot 300g SMKs out of my 338 L imp (the bergers don't like going that fast) and use the 300g nosler custom comp for fireforming. they fly great and are much less expensive. the rifle shoots well under 3/4 moa with the fire forming loads, so its not a waist. if the std brass isn't indexing on the shoulder, you will have to do it off the bullet. basically loading them with little to no jump.
