    I just ordered a Leupy Mk4 spotter and would like some recommendations for accessories. I'll get the Manfroto trigger head. But do you recommend the inline or side mount? Also which tripod and which height range is most universal? I've also seen a few scopes mounted upside down(with the...

    I'm just starting to try some 308 scenar 155 loads and bought 1000 bullets. I'venoticed that they are weighing out to be 154.2 and 154.3gr. Is this normal?

    So what's new with the 338 LM and the AI AWSM 338?

    Due to family obligations I've been completely out of the shooting game for the last two years. Basically locked the safe and haven't been keeping up with the news. When I checked out in mid '09, the AX was just released and there were some rumors going around with regards to the 338 Lapua Mag...

    Why such a big difference in 155gr .308 load data?

    I'm looking to work up a new load for my .308 using Lapua 155gr Scenar's. I have IMR 4895 that I was using for my 180gr SMK loads. Plus I have some H335 and Win 748 that I'll be testing as well. When I cross check the Hodgdon load data with the Sierra load data the 4895 loads are significanly...

    Problems with RL25 in 338LM?

    Just started working up loads for my AI AWSM at the beginning of the year. I bought both H4831SC and RL25. Started with the H4831SC and have had great results. Consistent velocities and low SD for accuracy groups. No load tested over MOA with better groups sub 1/2 and the best load at .350"...

    Expander ball on a neck sizing die?

    I noticed that my Redding neck sizing die came with the expander ball on the decapping rod. Do you guys run the ball through after neck sizing? Seems counter productive to me. Especially when using a sized neck bushing. But, on the flip side I can see how it would provide more consistent...

    338LM Bullet Setback

    I’m loading new Lapua Brass in pretty much a standard configuration. 250gr Scenar over 89.8gr of H4831SC. I’m clocking these at 2925fps. I’ve just been testing loads up until now and have been single loading these for fear of setback affecting my tests. So, now that I’ve found my loads, I’ve...

    Lapua BC, ICAO or Metro?

    Does anyone know if the published Lapua BC's are done in ICAO or Metro? My ballistics calculator is looking for ICAO numbers. I'm pretty sure Sierra's are Metro and I have made adjustments accordingly. Thanks!
