    RL 33/Retumbo/H1000- 338 Lapua


    Finding lots of info etc on each of these powdes for the lapua. Problem is the only one I can get currently is RL 33 in 8 lbs.

    I'd like to hear members experiences with there lapua and any of the three mentioned powders. If you were going to buy/back order one which would it be...

    110 ba with factory 26 inch barrel shooting lapua brass/cci 250/300 SMK

    Thank you

    I bought an 8 pound jug of rl33 to try in both my sons 338x378 and my 338 big baer.
    We didnt get the results we hoped for with it. Retumbo is better in his gun, and h50bmg in mine.
    I would also be trying rl25 and us869 if i were you.

    I have had pretty good luck with Ramshot Magnum. Also for what it is worth I did not have good experiences with the H-1000 powder.
