338 lapua loads

I helped a friend work up loads with that powder, and it worked just fine. We used 215 primers, and 250 and 300 gr, SMKs ( I think. It has been a while.). One thing that we ran into in a couple of magnum calibers was lack of uniformity of shoulder bump, even on once fired brass. We did some careful annealing on a machine to fix that, just enough to deal with the shoulder issue while retaining enough neck tension for field use out of a magazine.
 
Ive had my best results with Reloader 25, but I hear that Reloader 33 is even better (have not tried 33 yet) ive used retumbo and us869.
