Anybody have load suggestions, planning to use retumbo powder and lapua brass. Rifle is a 700p.
I Ended up only having RE 22 in my Hornady manual as I don't use their bullets alot and haven't got thier new book. 91 grns of RE 22 seemed a little hot, so I dropped back to 89 and will stay there. Even if the gun is capable of more, I really don't need to push the envelope that much with $3/case brass for a mediocore LR bullet like a 225 SST. Probably a fine bullet in a 338 win, but a .515 bc is not the end all for .338 bullets. As it is, the gun is a really nice to shoot with the light 225's. Will be a really nice hunting round at 2950FPS with those SST's, and I'll play with some BTHP's later.
