    Welcome to the forum.
    First of all, yeah Lapua brass is hard to find but starline is plentiful right now. It's a good brass, but I would stock up on it somewhat as supply seems to ebb and flow.
    I use H335 for mt 100 ttsx bullets, The Barnes data I have is what I use, for the 115-120 tsx family it states that 28.0 is the max but might be compressed. If you can get the 115's I would suggest as they will give you a bit more MV, and a lower opening velocity. with 16" barrel more MV is good for you.

    Also you list the cci 34 as your primer but starline and all (non-ppu/AK brass) is small primer, so you'll need either cci 450 or cci 41, or a similar. I'd stay away from 400's as the cup is thinner. Some of the #41's are selling for decent prices (at least out here in free America lol!) nowadays. but the 34 is a large primer.

      KW:

      New to reloading?

      You will find load data to be slightly different between companies. Why? How they test the load and what they are willing to risk.

      I rarely go to a max load with the Grendel but do trust the data from any reputable company.
