Has anyone tried H50BMG in the 338 Lapua? If so can u give me some starting points with 285g and 300g bullets? Thanks in advance.

I tried it but was too slow. Couldn't get enough in the case for a 300gr smk. Used Retumbo for a while but cant find any. Trying re33 now.

I just started testing re33.... i got the h1000 and retumbo set to the side to get rid of its looking like... way better velocity and less pressure with re33... im going nuts waiting until i can get a good day to test it more again... it has me pumped!

At 600 yards i had to drop down like 1.5 mils from the dope it took with h1000 to where it sighten in with re33... its way flatter shooting/more velocity...



def worth dropping what your doing and testing it in your rifle...

im shooting 30 inch barrel
300gr bergers
started at 97grs of re33
cci magnum primer

it fills the case way better than other powders too.. i got 97gr up to 101 grs loaded to test right now...

Thanks for the input guys. I am orking with R33 right now. I had some H50 BMG so I thought I would try it. The R33 is working real well at this point.

Thanks again!!
