I started doing some load tests for my new barrel 338 Lapua. Barrel is a Bartlein, 9.3 twist, 30 inches, Sendero Contour. Rifle is Savage savage hs precision.

This thing so far is a laser. Only tested out to 300 yards so far but here is what she can do. Testing 600 and 1,00 yards hopefully soon.

H-1000
Velocity average: 2740
300 grain Berger Hunter Elites

4 shots.

Just built a 338 lapua on a stiller tac 338 with a bartlien barrel and it's shooting the same as yours, I'm running retumbo with 250gr bergers at 3000fps, nice shooting
 
If you can't hit the bullseye it's worthless. Send it here and I'll do something testing with RL-33.

:D
I was testing a couple differents loads so I didnt make any scope adjustments between loads. I'm still not settled on a load, the 600 yard photos, 1 load was with 88.5g 20 thou off and the other was 89.75g 60 thou off. I hit a 12 inch gong at 1,000 yards 3 out of 4 times with the 89.75 load the same day. I didnt have any 88.5 left to try at 1k. :(

I have the same rifle but a 28” Bartlein try n-570 powder h 1000 is too fast and you have the barrel length to burn a slower powder
 
Savage stealth I reberralled with a 28" bartlein with a ptg bore rider reamer.
