Anyone out there reload this cartridge yet. Just trying to figure out what powder(s) to start with. 18" barrel and 120 A-max or 123 lapua. I was thinking of Accurate 2520 as its on Alexanders website, possibly TAC? All with Small Rifle Mag primers, at least will try 1st. Also may try a lighter bullet as well 95-100 grain.

    skyfish,

    This will depend on whether you're shooting a semi-auto or a bolt action.

    The AA-2520 is a favorite powder for me but it can burn dirty depending on the load. This falls in line with the W-748 also. I prefer the VihtaVuori powders personally for this cartridge. Be sure to pay attention to the OALs suggested by the reloading information.

    No matter which powder you choose, start low and work you way up slowly, watching for signs of pressure.

    Best.
