It always helps if you provide us with all the pertinent info in the initial post.

What weapon?

What twist?

What range will you mostly be shooting it at?

Will you be hunting with it?

Are you interested in hunting loads, or long range target loads?

Brass:  Lapua and/or Norma.  RUAG would be another top tier brand.

Primers:  I like FGMM 215Ms, but I've used 215s and Winchest LRP Magnums.

Powders:  H-1000, H-4831sc, H-Retumbo, VV-165, VV-170, VV-N560, VV-N570, H-US869, AA Magpro, Alliant RL-25 and RL-33.

Bullets:  Target:  I shoot the 250s...Bergers, SMKs and Lapua Scenars/LockBase.  The 300s would be the same brands.

Bullets:  Hunting:  Nosler Accubonds, Partition and Ballistic Tips, Hornady SSTs and Interlocks, Sierra GameKings, Berger Hunting/Target bullets, Speer makes some good ones, etc.

Weapon is a Savage 110LCP chambered in .338 Lapua. Rate of twist is 9 with a 26 inch barrel. Would like to shoot as far as 1000-1500 meters. Will be using for long range target shooting and possibly hunting. I just ordered a box of 100 Lapua brass from Midway.

I have a Savage 110 and I like to shoot Hornady 285's with 84gr of RL-22.

I use Retumbo and H1000.  Retumbo gave me better accuracy.  Federal Magnum Match primers or CCI Mag.

I mainly shoot Berger 300 gn Hybrids and 250 Lapua Scenars.

Lapua brass.
