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.
