Shooters World 50BMG Powder in 338

[quigley257]

Looking to see if anyone has experience using this powder in the 338 Lapua or Improved cartridges. It's definitely affordable and in stock compared to the usual suspects. I plan on shooting 285-300gr bullets in the 338 Rogue and my brother has a 338LM that we will be loading for using 250-300gr bullets. Please share any experience and performance/data you have regarding this powder. Thanks!!

Buehler? Anyone? Surely someone on LRH has used this powder in the Lapua before... I'm curious because SW shows it as being suitable for the Lapua but I can't find data in their catalog.

heres an unverified link with other common powders to exprpolate and lovexd100 338LM .. do your own research .. im not certain the d100 is a direct SW BMG equivalent with a different name .. or ???

SW 50 BMG actually says D100 on the label. Unfortunately, like I stated, they don't show much for data for that powder.

I'll check out the other site you provided, thanks.

incase ya didnt wanna open weird file .. says 255 .5 g mono bullet (flatline )


based off of this it seem fps is rather low for this weight bullet.. maybe itll shine a little better with th 300s .. dunno
