    New to reloading 338 Lapua, but not new to reloading questions.

    The more I research the 338 lapua the more I find that those two powders are the go-to powders for the 338L. I've looked everywhere I know where to look and have not found any or either powder for sale. I'm hopeful that what you heard about those powders becoming available again after the...

    New to reloading 338 Lapua, but not new to reloading questions.

    This is where the 338 lapua is a new animal to me. Typically on all my 550b tool heads I have a full length sizer die in the first stage, second stage is either empty or has the powder drop depending on caliber and intentions, third stage is the bullet seating stage and 4th stage is where I put...

    New to reloading 338 Lapua, but not new to reloading questions.

    Sounds good so far. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't too far off track. The magnum sized reloads is a new animal for me and it's all expensive enough I don't want to have to keep re-buying the same things. I've never used any kind of a bushing die, and it's still a little confusing to me...

    New to reloading 338 Lapua, but not new to reloading questions.

    Hello, I've been reloading my own ammo since 2002 when I was younger and dumber and thought I needed a 300 RUM because that's what all the gun magazines were saying that I should get for an elk hunt. I got into reloading with an RCBS rock chucker kit to save money on the $2 plus trigger pull I...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    LMAO, That's the first I've heard of there being an availability of any form of shelter during the event. I kept thinking the site would be a wide open wet field with wind blowing through it constantly. What kind of sites do they make people set up for the night in?

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    Yesterday my partner and I had a mini training session. We started with a full shakedown of everything we were planning to take and how we were planning to take it as a full loadout. Up to this point most of our training and gear selection has been as individuals, this time we laid it all out...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    That's how I've got my pack setup now. I've got the rifle against my back in the overload compartment, ammo inside the pack in the camelbak pouch, sleeping bag on the bottom and everything else all around and on top of that. I may play around with top loading the rifle. Part of the fun of...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    I've never tried to mount a rifle on the side like that and it just never seemed like it'd come close to balancing out especially with a heavier competition rifle. Did you shift all your ammo and water to the other side to make it all work? Anytime I've ever rucked with a rifle the rifle was...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    If I remember right the rifle with scope, sling and bipod was just shy of 17#. Then add 120rds of 6.5 at 1# per 20rds, then 2 10rd AICS mags, then a G17 with three loaded mags and a holster it seems to add up pretty quickly. I think at the time I weighed all that in I was also using a Hill...

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    I keep seeing the pictures from Ft. Gordon from last year and everyone was in shorts. It'd make my day if the weather got that warm, but I'm packing for worst case scenario right now. Coming from northern Indiana I think the odds are good it'll be warmer than home either way.

    Pack for Mammoth 2020

    It's getting closer, and I've been going through my gear. Last night I did a mock loadout and I was at 50# fully loaded. That's food, water, ammo, mags, sleep system etc. I was really hoping to be at or under #40 for this, but 32# of my gear is weapons and ammo. I'm really considering a less...

    We got the forms through email and sent them in. I just thought there was another thing coming.

    They said something on facebook the other day about sending out final registration. Did you guys get something in the mail? I haven't seen anything.

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    Regarding round count I don't remember where I clipped this from on round count, but here it is: "If a competitor were to engage every target of the match and score on every scoring opportunity on every target it would take 39 pistol rounds and 90 rifle rounds to shoot the match. Very few...

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    I know I tend to over think things too. The MR holster can be removed, but not really easily or in a timely way. It's meant to stay with the pack and if we're going to have to move with the pack then I'm already rethinking it, lol.

    My plan was to run the mystery ranch holster on the hip belt of my mystery ranch pack. Not trying to be their fan boy, but I just figured their product should be able to work with itself. Having said that, it's still new to me and I have not really tested it out and vetted it yet. I'm...

    Hopefully anyone going to the 2020 Mammoth got their papers in the email and is sending them in asap.

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    On the rangefinders, I've been slowly upgrading equipment over the years and at the time the bushnell elite 1600 was a big upgrade for me, but now it seems to be on the lower end of the quality spectrum. I've always heard of Leica rangefinders as the standard all others are judged by. Our...

    Mammoth Sniper Challenge 2020 Discussion

    In all the talking about Mammoth this is the first time I've really seen the ranging come up. How critical is it going to be that both shooters have a laser rangefinder, or will one of them with a mediocre one be good enough? Are any of the distances given at any of the stages? Our plan is to...
