.338 lapua reloading

Recommended Posts

i have been reloading for a .338 and it just seams to have consistency issues it was grouping well initially but seems to shoot larger groups.

i have been using 265 barnes and us 869 powder is this powder inconsistant?

what are other guys using for this caliber?

 

I have a second one that i shoot 300 gn target and us869 and it works well

Tried Imr 4831 and 265 lrx not so good. Went to us869 and 265 lrx and shot 1/2 moa. I,m happy now!

I fixed me and lightened up on holding the gun and it started going well.

I must have been torquing the gun.

Every gun is a little different. My edge max powder charge is 87.5 to 88. Just be careful and start low and work up.

My lapua likes 89 grains behind a 285 a max. For a lighter bullet, try a little more, a heavier bullet, try a little less
