338 lapua - case expansion and sticky bolt ?
I had a custom 338 Lapua built in 2009. I am having ongoing problems with sticky bolt and difficult extraction, even with mellow loads of 87.0 grains of RL 25 and 87.8 H1000 under 300 SMKs (seated -0.040" from lands) that go around 2700 fps out of my 28.5" barrel. From my research, this is by...- depopulator

REM 700P MLR 338LM
Re: REM 700P MLR 338LM I have (had) a MLR 338 Lapua. The barrel is short (24.5" + 1.5 " muzzle brake) and is not ideal for reaching max velocities. Mine settled in with 250 SMK and Scenars at around 2850 fps for an easy 0.5-0.75 MOA shooter. Below is a photo of some test loads at 200 m (220...- depopulator
