300 grain SMK seated .01" off lands

Nice mild load Smiler


Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.

What is the difference between the regular 338LM and the 338 improved? I use 85GR of Viht. N-165 with a sierra 250MK in a Lapua case. This works great for me in a 27 ½ barrel. I don’t know how fast it is going because I don’t have a chronograph, but it seems to be the most accurate load so far.

The case is blown out for a 15ish grain capacity increase..leading to more speed!

My 338 Lapua Imp. prefers 110.0 gr. US869 under the 300 SMK.
I have loaded up to 112.5 of the same powder but the former amount provides better accuracy in my rifle..
