    Necksize vs FL size 338LM

    I alternate between neck sizing, FL sizing and annealing, but I’m just a hack. I started loading for my TRG in January of 2006, so I have a little bit of experience. Chris

    338 Lapua Magnum

    I’ve only used a Lapua and Norma and had a neck split on a Norma after only two cycles. I’m on 12-13 with the Lapua. Can’t speak to the others, but I’m a Lapua fan. Chris

    New to reloading. Just got gear, now what..

    Yep...get a few reloading manuals and read each a few times, especially the 'how to' sections. Nobody here is going to be able to school you on he 'basics' of reloading. Until you study the hobby, by reading, you'll be at a disadvantage. Don't take shortcuts when reloading, as you can blow...

    New to .338 Lapua reloading

    For the 250s in my 1:12” twist TRG-42, VV165 and H-4831sc are my go-to powders, going on 17 years. H1000 has performed well. Chris

    Ruag Swiss P 338 lapua ammo question

    They have a great reputation, but I roll my own with Norma/Lapua brass. Chris

    338 Lapua Magnum

    Typically 2950-3000 FPS out of a 27”+ stock barrel. 88.5grs-89grs is my pet load, with either. Remember, most of this development was done from 2006-2007, when there wasn’t a lot of published data for 338LM shooters. Chris

    338 Lapua Magnum

    H-4831sc has been my go-to powder for 250s in my 1:12” TRG-42 for 16 years. VV-165 is another. Chris

    What influences ES/SD the most?

    I agree, but for me it was gold box .308 and .338LM and they were bad. Chris

    I'm in Miami and use 215Ms exclusively in my .338LM loadings and my 7RM loadings. Chris

    reloading 338lm 300 grain accubonds

    Ehhh…just use data for the 300gr. SMKs. There were lots of people shooting/reloading the 300gr. class of bullets just 10 years back. Chris

    338 Lapua Magnum

    My pet load shooting 250s in my 1:12” TRG-42 is 88.5gr.-89gr. of H-4831sc and VV-165. Chris

    .308 Winchester

    I’m not a home right now, but I’ve reloaded the 175 SMKs using both Varget and VV-150 and the starting points are common knowledge, so just load them up and see what you see? All weapons behave differently. Chris

    338 Lapua & 250 Berger Elites, which powder?

    I shoot an early TRG 42 with a a 1:12” twist, so I’m confined to the 250s/285s. VV-165, H-1000 and H-4831 SC for me. Chris

    Storing powder in your powder trickler?

    I remove powder due to it discoloring the plastic hopper over time. A day or two, no problem. Chris
