I’m not at the computer right now but can get it when I get home.
There are a bunch of powder runs that give you close to max posted up here for different cartridges. You could start down a couple grains and work up.

That’d be perfect.
On the end of the box they generally have a max speed number.
I shoot quite a few of them, the Xtremes, Raniers and Golds and they all work very well for your intended use imo. I’ve even run them in lighter loads for the 10mm and 357 Sig. work fine.
I’d think if there’s not a side adjustment on the peep, if it’s dovetailed in you could maybe move there.
And by the way, you got a deal.

Nice! Told you 250s shoot. :grin:
Really happy for you.
That is flat cool.
Seems like I always grin when I look at a 250 case, it’s just a cool little cartridge.
I’d say the 87s should be real good.
Not necessarily pushing but Berger has a higher b.c. 87 gr hunting bullet that might let you stretch it out a little.
I’m sure you could. It would depend on the reamer you use and the throat. You’d lose a little capacity seating deeper though. May be a little snug. :grin:
I run 52.2 h4831 in mine w a 105 Berger for around 3140 or so. It’s a fairly warm load so work up to it. It’s very accurate.
Mines a 8 twist.
My reamer has quite a bit of freebore for the 105s. (.138) 26” barrel.
I would think the 87 in yours should run 3350-3400 with no issues.
Have him take a look at these Guy.
I have heard good things about them (I bought one but waiting on a trigger for the lower)

You’re probably going to hit max a little faster in the Lapua than the Norma and Nosler.
Might want to check capacity on them.
If you want a little extra zip and don’t mind the expenditure, I’d consider screwing a longer barrel on especially if you’re going to use slower powders.
