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.
I use REM 7.5 BR in Small Primer Federal Nickle 45 ACP brass non +P for my 45 Super + P loads !
I have also great results with Fed 150 in plain regular WW 45 ACP brass also tested all the way up 950 FPE still not at max case expansion .482”
Big Help with KKM barrel with great case support.

Suggest set your handgun up 45 Super !
Very Easy
250gr anywhere between 1075 to 1175 fps
Now that’s a trail pistol
G21 Gen 4
KKM Barrel

Never go hunting and setting up camp in Alaska without my Bear Electric Fence. The kit came with 4 poles and ordered 4 more poles
from Manufacturer in MT. Works as advertised!
Added a heavier grounding rod and huge spool of 6 strand electrical wire off Amazon that will last me for years...
All I use in my Marlin Guide Gun 45/70 the Speer 350gr with 51.8 of Reloader 7
Apply crimp with Lee Factory crimp
2000 fps load
WW brass
Moose / Bear load in Alaska
If you need a bullet for moose the 200gr Speer is excellent.
If you need a bullet for deer 165gr Speer Hot Cor SP
If you need a bullet for elk 180gr Speer Hot Cor SP
Swift A frame is tough bullet expect great weight retention if capture one . I have only recovered one 225gr from 338 Win from a moose shot length wise still had 93% weight retention.
That was a few years ago !
I was stationed at Fort Wainwright in 1992 and returned again in 1998 and never left Alaska since except for tour in Iraq OIF2. Retired now and still here ! Dark and Cold just wish it would drive out the Democrats pushing California politics onto Alaska !
Power Pistol @ 8.6
250 XTP
In 4.6 “ KKM barrel G21 about 1050 fps
Very Modest load approaching 45 Super levels

Only Use 45 ACP brass and Fed 150 primers no pressure signs
Do not use +P brass
FYI Max case expansion is .481” don’t go past it !
