[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 2253834, member: 5219"] I think it is great that you are helping an older friend with some reduced loads. I looked up the minimum load for the 338 Lapua with a 250 grain bullet and IMR 7828. Your load is below their suggested minimum!!!!! . Hodgdon's and Nosler's load data both say 83 grains is minimum. [B]I want to warn you that underloading what is suggested from printed load data is considered unsafe.[/B] I would give Nosler or Hodgdon a call and see if they can suggest a powder and powder charge weight for reduced velocity/recoil. ============== As to your question on slow bullets being accurate yes they can be very accurate. I shoot the .338 300 gr Berger at 2454 fps using a 338 RCM and it is very accurate. Same for a 215 Berger in a 308 Win @ 2500 fps and a 358 Win with 180s @ 1990 fps [/QUOTE]
