I am seeking reloading information for .338 Lapua. I am primarily looking for loads that are very reliable and more so very accurate at long distances (1000+ yds). Please be specific, the more info the better. Also any book titles, publication info or websites would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in adavnce.

HS Precision 24" HTR

Hodgdon's website has data. As does the Barnes #3 manual. That should hopefully get you started.

I have a few loads from Hodgdon's 2004 Annual Manual already. I was just looking for some loads perhaps from the users of this site. I know Speer's #13 book has no loads in it. I will look in Barnes book ASAP.

Stevepages will tell you what you need to know. My magic powder for the .338 Lapua is Hodgdon H-1000. My accurate hunting loads are 99 grains H-1000 and Fed 215M primer and 240 grain North Fork or 250 grain Barnes or 225 grain Swift A-Frame, all around 3100 fps. For 1000 yard target go with Sierra 250 grain Matchkings. Good luck and good shooting.

I also have an HTR in 338 Lapua. THis is worked for me so far with more tested as time permits. Black Hills 250gr=1/2MOA @ 400yds. 4 shots went into 1.250 & I threw the last one. WOrking with the 300gr Sierra. The gun liked 92.5grs of the following powders. RL-25, N170, & H-1000. H-1000 also worked well @ 82.5grs. I will try Ramshot Magnum, IMR7828, H50BMG in the near future. I have a single shot so for the first shooting session I put them .010 off the lands. With only 72 rds fired we are still learning. One big help was that I reduced the length of pull all the way and put a Limb Saver slip-on recoil pad over the existing pad. Recoil seems to be the same as a Rem. 700 ADL in 30-06 but not as sharp. I was able to shoot 50 rds. off the bench in about 5 hrs. but was pleasantly tired. 2 aspirin about 20 minutes before trigger time used to help when shooting 50 cal's. Hope this helps. My factory load was 97.5grs. RL25 with a 200gr Nosler Ballistic tip @3151, 3 into .548 Good luck Let me know if I can help in the future.
