[QUOTE="torrentuser, post: 981298, member: 77975"] Good Day! I recently purchased an AX338MC with a 27inch barrel and live in Silicon Valley, CA. I plan to target shoot from 800 to 1600 yards. I intend on building a ladder for myself during load generation. Here are my details: 8lbs. of RL33 Lapua Brass, 100count Sierra Match King 300gr, 500 count CCI Large Rifle Magnum Primers #250 According to the RL33 site: Alliant Powder - Reloader's Guide 338 Lapua Magnum 300 gr Sierra Match King Lapua 3.68 24 Fed 215 Reloder 33 97.5 2,748 97.5 grains should be good. What is strange is they don't have a safe and a max grain count. I think I should treat 97.5 as the max and reload up to it. Am I right? I was thinking of doing a ladder of the following: 93.5gr 94.5gr 95.5gr 96.5gr 97.7gr (5 rounds each) [Expensive huh!?] Is that nuts? I have a controlled 200 yard range that I was planning on using, but I'm afraid I'll just be putting them through the same hole and not see any widening / contracting of my groups. What distance would you recommend building a ladder on? Any greater and I'll need to go out in the wilderness (BLM Land). It won't be controlled and I probably shooting prone instead of on a bench. --------------- What to do with my brass? So these are brand new... I opened the box and could smell Finland. Do I full length size these? Do I just shoot them, assuming they are in spec out of the box, and get them fire formed to my barrel? What case prep is required for brand new Lapua brass? You guys are the authorities! Big thanks in advance! -torrentuser [/QUOTE]
