Re Re-loading for the .338LM...

100 pc of Lapua Magnum unprimed brass- $289.00
1 pound of Retumbo powder- $30.00
50ea Sierra 300gr MatchKing bullets- $40-50.00 OR
50 Barnes 285gr TSX bullets- $50.00
Magnum Large Rifle Primers- A few cents apiece

I load 92 grains of Retumbo with both bullets. A pound of powder goes away in a hurry. I have the rifle zeroed at 600 yards.

Supposedly, the Lapua brass is good for up to 10 reloads. I have just gone through it for the first time, so we shall see. I tried Privi Partisan brass with poor results. A lot of split cases and blown primers.
