srvet Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Evening all, my stock of H1000 is gone so I’m looking for an available replacement for 250 grain bullets. What are people using?? Thanks 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 I can't say what people are using, but Viht developed N565 specifically for the 338LM with 250gn bullets. https://www.vihtavuori.com/powder/n565-high-energy-powder/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No i deer Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 I thought N570 was the top choice for the 338 lap mag for 250s and 300 grainers.. It's fast too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deserttech Europe Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 RS80 or RL33 are both ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch-22 Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 I shoot the .338 Norma Magnum…only 6% less case capacity than .338LM. I use RS80 with 300gn Scenars. It’s an excellent powder, very accurate loads, easy to achieve consistently tiny SDs and has a nice recoil impulse. It is double based but I’d say a relatively mild double base, around 3,800joules, so shouldn’t destroy throats as badly as the N5xx series of powders which do kane barrels.
