I am wanting to try the hornady 285 bthp in my soon to be here 338 lapua, any load data is greatly appreciated.

I could provide some powder and charge recommendations from Quickload if you'd like.

Not knowing the specifics of your rifle I picked a few parameters and ran with it.
I chose a 26" barrel, a 64K MAP, and a max 100% fill volume so no compressed loads.
Given these arbitrary parameters your best (fastest) loads are as follows.

87gr of Magpro with a COAL of 3.681" and the 285 Hornady you'll be running just under 63K, a 97.3% fill, and 2754fps.

89.5 of Ramshot Magnum, same COAL and bullet you'll be at 62.7K, a 99.4% fill and the exact same speed.

83.5gr od Vv N560 gets you 63.4K, 97.1% fill and 2759.

If you give me more accurate parameters on barrel length and the COAL you'll be running I can get more accurate numbers.

nsaqam, thanks. My gun is a savage 110ba with a 26 inch bbl. It will be here Friday so im not sure of the coal just yet. I have some H1000 and Hornady 285 bthps to start with. From what i have been reading the 1-9 twist may like the 300 grains better so i will also try the berger hybrid 300 grains. I plan to start with a 10 thou jump as that is usually where i start my F class guns BUT this is a completely different animal so it should be interesting, very interesting. ;D
