That should work just fine for crossing large swaths of tundra.

This makes my 3rd Lapua over the years I will be reloading either 250gr AB or 250gr LRX.
Had to Special Order the rifle no one had a Mesa Lapua in the far North.

Your barrel is a complete stainless and not carbon wrapped, correct?
Either of those bullets will work great.

Put the Bronze Mesa Lapua in the CA MPR Bronze chassis topped it with ZEISS V4 4x16 x44mm.
Kinda like to try some 300 gr Nosler AccuBond LR in my stability Calculator their 3.66 out 4.00 very good.

Too bad RL-33 isn’t available , that stuff shines in my 338 Lapua and 300 grainers.

Nice rifles. Hope you have a tough scope in mind. A good friend of mine has one with a NF ATACR on it. That scopes been sent back to NF 4 times for broken internals. NF is now looking into how to correct the issue and make them stronger because of it. He also broke a Vortex Razor HD, twice the same way with the internals coming loose. Best of luck!
