.338 Lapua Powders

[tac-driver]

Hey all, Im just starting to reload .338 LAPUA with some 4831 I had left over from my .340 wtby. What I wanted to know before I buy a container, has anyone used H1000 or RETUMBO for the .338 LAPUA? If so, what were some of your results? Also Im going to try 250 g HPBT scenar moly coat.

I use H1000, works great, all the people I have asked when i got started said H1000.

My son shoots a 338 Ultra mag. which is almost the same a the 338 lapua.
Retumbo seems to work the best in it,best groups most velocity.

I use H 1000 and RL 25 for most most of my shooting with great results. I have also used VV 560 but it didn't perform any better than the combinations I was already using so whats the point paying more for the powder?
I have heard that retumbo works well also but can sometimes be difficult to find.

If you need some recipies to start out PM me and I'll send you some.

I've been using H-1000 in my Lapua since I bought it, and have had excellent results.
