338 LM load data needed

[Samtech79]

I'm looking for some load data for 338 LM. I scored some freebie value loading supplies with a rifle but its not a well documented combo.
I have some hornady 225 sst bullets, H1000, fed 215 primers and once fired Prvi brass.
I've been searching other forums and it seems that some others are using this combo but specifics aren't all that forth coming.
I'm thinking 89-90gr to start with is in the safe zone.
Anybody brave enough to give me a sanity check on this one?
If I get some good data I may try it... But a box of 250 sst is cheap and there is plenty of load data for that.

I was down in the garage and it dawned on me to check my Hornaday book. They list 225gr SST's with H1000. Start load is 86.4gr at 2500fps and maximum load of 96.6gr at 2900fps (which seems conservative for that caliber) at a minimum OAL of 3.565"

The Hodgon Powder website has data for the 225gr Nosler Partition bullet in .338 Lapua. Access the website, it has lots of data. For the 225 Nosler, it shows a length of 3.550", starting load for H1000 91gr, 2713 fps, 42,100 CUP and a max of 101gr (compressed), 2995 fps, 53.100 CUP. I would caution using Hodgon's data until you can cross reference it other reputable sources, since Hodgon does not list the primer or case and the data is for a Nosler Partition as opposed to your Hornady SST. At least it give you something to reference.

Yeah, saw that one. 101gn would be one wild *** load... I ain't that brave.
I was mulling that data over pretty hard. As you pointed out, no case or primer data. I'm not real sure how the bullet specs out between the partition and the sst but my chrony will tell the tail... If it get brave and load it.
I did find some other references to someone loading 97gr and getting somewhere in the realm of 2900fps. No clue what barrel length or twist.
Thanks for the sanity check.

Hey thanks Bill. I just saw you edited that post.
Feeling much more comfortable with this one.
Thanks much!
