Re: .338 Lapua Reloading question from a beginner
I also use the Lapua Naturalis 231 gr solid copper bullet for hunting. Longest shot on game was a medium moose at 470 m. My spotter said it looked like it had been hit with Thors hammer. Flipped it completely over with a solid boiler room...
Re: Benelli M4
Hey Buddy...that is how the M4 came...its the standard issue barrel...as far as I know..The only thing I changed was the mag extension..got rid of the crimped one..
Re: Benelli M4
I kinda like mine..had it 2 years...I find my 14" 590A1 entry gun way quicker and more fluid for multiple trgt engagements. My forend is from surefire, and its a reasonable priced good piece of kit.
Re: Suppressor help
This will give you an idea of size...this is my Rem MLR in 338LM

Konabully;
I should have mentioned the cal from the start..you are correct, mine, a .308 is a heavy straight taper (.850 x 24"). I also had one in 300win...but that got changed for a 338LM. It also was a great shooter..although big and heavy..
Re: McMillan M-86 Barrel re-placement
Sounds like you have a deal...My ser # is SSO282, if that says anything to you...
If I may ask..why did you pull the barrel? My rifle really shoots fine..or did...
thanks
