What are you guys using for .338 lapua? Seems half say H1000, other half day retumbo? Anyone try both and like one better?

Ive read about re33, might have to try it. Brownells has 1 cent hazmat today but they’re out of h1000 and retumbo. I have some odds and ends that’ll work to send a few rounds down the tube to start break-in, but nothing I’d want to try working a load with...

I've got H1000 but haven't tried it yet. I've had excellent results with Retumbo. Great velocity and accuracy and consistency. I've also tried a little bit of WC872 which is a little too slow I think. More testing will be necessary.

Bought a bucket of rl33, see how it goes. It’ll for sure work for barrel break in and sighting in. Good enough for a first try. $20/# delivered, figures what the heck...

I ran RE33 95.5 grains in mine with Lapua Brass/300 SMK/CCI 250
