.338 Lapua Recommendations?

[REPO]

I'm am going to be purchasing a quantity of once fired Lapua brass. I am looking for recommendations on what i should buy for the other items.

Bullets: What is a relatively inexpensive bullet for targets? Part number?
Primers: Same as above.
Powder will depend on the load.

Any good recipes out there?

Thanks!

I also bought a bunch of 338 Lapua once shot brass.

Im just waiting for my dies to arrive but I'm probably use the 300 SMK's with Retumbo and/or H1000 powder.

Do you have a link to a good place to buyt the 300 SMK's ?

Not sure what you have available in FSJ but you could try Corlanes in Dawson Creek, or P&D in Edmonton. In Calgary, ATR and WSS usually have them in stock.

Is there a certain part number on those? I will try locally first. Do you have a load recipe for this cartridge?

Thanks again!

I have the Rem 700 in 338 Lapua, 24"bbl, 1:10 twist, factory bbl. I ve done some load development that shows promise using 91 gr. of H1000, Norma brass, CCI 250 primers shooting the Hornady 285 gr. BTHP loaded to C.O.L. 3.127 measured to the ogive. Average FPS of 2688. This load will just fit the mag. Work up your load in your rifle to find max. This was getting close for me, the bolt started to get sticky at 91.5 gr. Hope this gives you a rough idea where to start.
