Whatever you end with in Hornady brass will be fine in Lapua SR brass. But that's technically against the rules, so yes you "should" always go back to the beginning. However, few will actually do that.
Depending on what you want to use the rifle for it is worth pointing out that I found some stellar accuracy nodes lower down the powder weight range, like mind blowing literal bug hole accuracy from a cheap and cheerful Howa, every bit as good as semi-custom fancy barrel. So for targets and gongs, you might find 2550-2600fps is spot on. I want more for clean killing quite far out so ended up at 2750fps with the 143gr.
