338 Lapua with LRT
The boy brought his Savage 112 MT over today to see what I could do with LRT. A couple weeks ago I bedded the recoil lug for him. Loaded Federal brass using Fed 215 and Nosler 300gr CC. Results from my Magnetospeed. 92grs - 2510 94grs - 2558 96grs - 2599 97grs - 2668 98grs - 2697 98.5grs 2694 I...

Might not be 250s , did start with LRT in his 338L. I don’t know how much he shot it as life kinda got in his way.

I’ve only ran RL-33 and 300s in mine. The usual suspects H1000 and Retumbo would be a better choice in my opinion for 250s.

Both those are hard to find here I seen US869 and LRT on the shelf . Yes H1000 would be my choice.

Would stepping up to 300gr bullets be an option? Would work better with LRT.

Grand is more inline with H1000 burn rate , should suit you fine.

I've been reloading with Grand in a few cartridges lately. Grand has proven to have a slower burn rate than H1000, requiring a few additional grains to achieve the same velocity as an h1000 load. Grand's burn rate is VERY close to Retumbo.

Grand on the burn rate chart to next to H1000 but real world user experience is appreciated. I think I will stay with H1000. If I can find some !

What was your load with H1000 with 250 AB ?
That’s my goal in my CA Mesa Lapua .
