338 Lapua 300gr Sierra Bullets

[Pat911]

Anyone has been reloading using those?

 

[bobjoe]

I am. They shoot great. I use h-1000. I am having issue with my brass atm but the SMK's still fly true.

I use Sierra Match King .338 300 gr bullets in my 338 Edge. They seem to be the only ones it likes. Also using H1000.

 

[Pat911]

How much powder to you put in?

 

[Mad_Mikee]

Im using them in my 338 Edge and also H1000 powder. I'm going to also be using them in my 338 Lapua AI with H1000.

The 300 Sierras run great in my .388LM. More accurate than the 250's.

I've used H1000 and it's good powder but I find Retumbo better.

As for brass, I only Lapua. The Hornady brass is junk - experience, and a number of people have told me that Remingtom is too.

I use them as well 110BA. H1000@91GN I find they shoot great. Now I just need to find a box of 500 of them in Winnipeg or Thunder Bay area.

I'm shooting them and they are great. I use 88.4 gr of H-1000, Federal match primers and Lapua brass. Gets me 2690fps from a 26'' tube. The load seems to hold 1/2 MOA inside of 300 m (where I did my testing) and around MOA past 1000 m.

 

[Pat911]

Sweet, i will go buy a box on my way back from work.

How far do you plan on shooting? The SMK's are great bullets. I shot them out of my 110 BA for a while. However, I've switched to Berger 300 OTM's because of the higher BC and because they are reportably better in going transonic.

I shot the 300 SMK's using 103gr of US869 with 0.010" jump. Printed .4 MOA consisantly.

I use them in a bat actioned 'Edge, 92 grains of H1000 for 2830 fps with a 30" Hart barrel. 1/2 MOA at 1/2 mile on a calm day.
