My choice will be the 338 Lapua. I have the Ackley and use it for ELR and also for hunting.

I have one brand new in a sealed box for sale. The cheapest I found at Amazon are about $680 shipped. I 'm selling mine for $550 shipped. Reason for selling, I just purchased the Sig 3000 BDX binocular rangefinder...

My wife and I just getting into it. Might as well start right. Her's is 2014 Specialized Ruby with Shimano 105 comp, mine is 2013 Cannondale EVO 2 with Sram Red comp.

I'm thinking the same. If one can make a mold of different shape that you can clamp on to the bolt and then fill it up with epoxy.

I have a Lyman DPS II, Bought it use and not sure how old it was when I got them. Send it to Lyman for repair twice and both was repaired at no charge. First trouble, I forgot to turn it off and left it on for a couple of days and won't reset. The second time, it won't zero. Tell RCBS that...

For 168, I'll opt for Nosler Comp. They're more consistent in weight and very accurate with my 12 twist PacNor SuperMatch 3 grove barrel. Another option for the heavier weight will be the 178 grain A-Max. It shoot just as well as the 168 Nosler Comp in my rifle.

Remington 700 25" Krieger 4 grove 8 twist AICS 1.5 I settled on 41.3 grains of H-4350 with Berger 130 Berger VLD Match and Remington 7.5 Primer and Lapua Brass. 5 shot at 110 yards 25 shot group at 1000 yards Drop the load to 40.0 grain on a new lot of H-4350. This load was...

Your not the only one. Same thing happen with my 6.5-284 Norma. Install 2 allen screw, grind and then silver solder.

I can use either one in my 6.5-47 and both were just as accurate. As a matter of fact I bought an 8 lb IMR since I have a hard time finding the Hodgdon. I'm down to about 4 lbs so once I run out and can't find any, I will start using IMR.

This is a process that you only do once. It won't hurt. Lapua and Norma don't need it. US made brass definitely need it.

Why not just tried using the recommended load above and be done with it. It seems like they're proven load.

Glad to know that I'm not alone. For a long time I thought there's something wrong with me. I need a hug.

Yup! 98.7 grains of Retumbo is probably smoking. I was not able to load above 95 grains until after around 2000 rounds went through my barrel.

Another Cali boys. Welcome
