I'm planning on running 225's with H1000 in the mid 2900's to 3000 fps.
Barrel life isn't the first concern, but I'd like to practise with it a lot so 1000 to 1500 rounds is what I'm hoping for.

H-1000 should be a pretty friendly powder and if you keep the carbon ring in check and keep shot strings to 3 or less you will get the most out of it. I assume you using a 1.250" barrel shank and an action with a larger tenon thread?

I wont run a the Lapua's or Norma's on a 1.062" barrel thread any more.

I'm using a Mesa Arms Crux ti Lapua action,
I don't know the specs but it is designed for a 338 Lapua.. I'll check on those specs.
What's your preferred method for removing carbon rings in the throat?
