338LM load with V V170

Can anyone tell me a starting load for the 338LM using 250gr match king and 170 vitaviori powder?
Thank you.

The VihtaVuori Oy 2nd manual only gives data for N165 with 250 gr bullets. 85.5 to 94.6. As the N170 is a little slower, I guess you could start with their starting data and slowly move up. Maybe there is more info in their 3rd manual. Good luck - Dan

Ins. I got the Vihtavuori Latausopas (Reloading guide)1-01. They donï¿½t list the MK, but the starting loads for the 250gr Scenar and N170 is 85.1gr and the LockBase 78.5gr. I have shot the 300gr MK ower 90.0gr N170 without signs of excessive preassure in my rifle. This load donï¿½t exceed maxload for this bullet/powder combo.

I get the best accuracy with N170 and the Scenar. AKI
