Cienfuegos Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 I need a start charge for this setup for a 26 "barrel Steyr for long distance shots. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 You’ll probably find RS80 is too slow for 250gn bullets, I think a number of others have tried and got low velocity. However, I think it’s a brilliant powder for 300gn bullets. I use it in my .338Norma Magnum (only 6% case capacity difference to the 338LM) and it’s an excellent powder with the 300gn Scenar. Very consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Here’s the RS website load data for .338LM: https://www.reload-swiss.com/en/reload_swiss/service_2/rs_ladedaten_1/index.php?kaliber=338+Lapua+Mag.&pulver=-&hersteller=-&gew_gesch=gr&gew_ladung=gr&geschw_mass=ft In my experience, their load data is on the low side and I’m often able to go significantly higher, without pressure signs, with all the powders I use of theirs.

In the end I disregarded the 80 to maximum volume load cno 103 ,? grains I managed to match the speed of commercial ammunition. Opt for the new 76 gunpowder with very good results around 99 grains. I get hyperfast speeds of up to 930ms. In the end the high node stayed at 908 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
