.338LM 285gr load data?

[kb007]

Been googling for a while and I can't find any load data for either of the following bullets with 7828, retumbo or H100. Anyone have? especially for 7828?

Barnes 285gr Tac-x boattail
Hdy 285gr match bthp

TIA

Hornady info is in their new manual #13.

I'll check my load data for you tonight if still needed.

I swear I think companies bring out new bullets just to sell more loading manuals

I did up a load for my LM with the Barnes 265LRX and 86g H4831SC with great results. Worth mentioning that they wouldn't shoot until they were loaded .100 off the lands. Rifle is a 110BA.

I will have to check my manual for Hornady data.

If you email the bullet manufacturer they will usually help you out with data.

Thanks - I have that data from Barnes, but have neither of the powders they list for the 285gr TSX. I never thought of emailing them directly, but will give that a shot.

Pleasant surprise, I emailed them this morning and within an hour I got a revised load data chart with retumbo and 7828 included.

nice.

Here's what I got from Barnes:

Wow - those max loads look like starting loads. The 338 LM can launch the 285 Hornady (different bullet) at about 2800 fps from a 26" barrel.
