[QUOTE="minuteman, post: 299349, member: 19184"] I have been reloading basically since I started shooting back in 1995. And I haven't paid much attention to factory loads since everything except 6,5x55 and 308 simply is to expensive to shoot in large quantities here in Norway. However, lately I have got myself an AR 30 in 338 Lapua, and the thought of some really long range hunting and precicion loads has occupied my nights lately. I have seen very good precicion with one factory loading, but as you I struggle to make my handloads to reach the same level. Comparing almost everything between the factory load and my own, (using RCBS Case Master), show me that the factory loadings from Lapua has much less runout in bullet/neck area. This is one big factor at least for me to improve. Also I have used dropcharging almost exclusivly the last ten years. But this chambering with slow burning powder seems to prefer weighted charges. So far I have reduced 5s-hoot groups from 1,5" to 3/4" and hopefully with less runout I can get it even better. [/QUOTE]
