My google-fu is weak apparently. I found several threads saying these 2 powders work well in 338LM, but none post the actual grains of powder. Anyone have actual load info for a 285 or 300gr?
 
both of those powders are very slow, and more suited to 50BMG. Both are really too slow for 338LM,

now that i'm home and have QL handy...
8700 generates about 35,000 psi, and 2300 FPS for a 300gr projectile
