The speed on Berts Chrony was way low , when comparied to my Magneto speed V3 , and was close to what Lapua state for this , 2950fps is what they claim on this factory ammo .
RE : 338LM , you will find some large variations in handloaded ammo , thats why I asked Bert to use factory as a base line for his tests , seems it dosnt matter what you do , someone thinks its not right .
If Bert wants to do more tests with a 300gr factory load hes welcome , my bad for asking for the 250gr .

250gr in a lapua is like having a V8 running on 6 cylinders.
