    If you want the most velocity I'd try the 7 superfatso from Greg Duley it is based off the 338 lapua and improved. The easiest will be 7RUM.
    I was using 98gr of us869 for 3275fps with the 180 but now 84gr 2225 for 3245fps. Considered the 195 but need a 1:8 twist and the gains are not dramatic enough for me. Building a rifle from scratch though I'd probably give them a go

    Your getting good speed firing a 7mm projectile from a 338 barrel.
