    Range Report 338 lapua range day h1000 vs retumbo

    Just a follow up. Took these 3 shots today at 1100 yards. Bumped up to 86 grains of h1000. Around 2740 mv (not verified by crono yet) Seams to be doing what I want. I can't expect the rifle or bullet to do better. Now if I can just read that damn wind better I'd be doing something. 9 mills...

    Range Report 338 at 1100 yards

    I've been trying to take 3 shots at 1100 yards about once or twice a week. I'm trying to learn how to read wind just by feel not using anything other than what's around. Weeds, leafs, dust, mirage (if any). I must say this is a lesson of patients. For me it's hard but I'm gaining. Here's my 3...

    Range Report 338 lapua range day h1000 vs retumbo

    Just to add I was simply comparing the two powders. All other variables were as close to the same as I possibly could achieve. Base to ogive. Nope, no one that reloads for long distances has ever heard of this.

    I've had the same issue with federal brass. I quit using federal brass just for this reason.

    338 lapua Over all Length???

    Yes mwilkins I'm single feeding right now. Unfortunately I haven't had the time or resources to really get my loads dialed in. In my opinion, it looks like the berger 300 otm is the bullet to beat for overall performance at distance. I'm sure this can be debated to no end but again I'm not rich...

    338 lapua Over all Length???

    I'm shooting a Badger Ordinance M2008 action using Berger 300 grain OTMs. My COAL is 3.830. and I'm seating them back .030 to 3.800. All loaded ammo chambers just fine. I'm just interested in what others are getting for over all length with this bullet. So far accuracy is MOA to 1/2 MOA. What...

    Range Report .338 lapua load work up 285 hornady/h-1000

    Varmint slayer, what was your dialed dope at 1600 out to about 1750 if you've got it. Plannin on trying the mile shot as soon as I get the time. I also have some 300 grain bergers that show potential as well. With the twist rate of my barrel being as fast as it is I'd like to actually shoot...

    Range Report .338 lapua load work up 285 hornady/h-1000

    Load 285 hornady match botail over 90 grains of H-1000 in new lapua brass and fed 215 primers. Seated to mag length (CIP mag) Results were very promising with the first 2 shots in the same hole but low. Dialed the .5 mils needed to put me on center and shot 3 shots just under an inch. Let the...

    Bulit weight variance question?

    I'm shooting a .338 lapua to 1000 yards and am looking to take this rifle out to around 1800. Doing pretty good with the stuff I've managed to scrape together and can usually keep my shots at or just under MOA. I've been experimenting with bullets and found that my new Hornaday 285g have a bit...

    Range Report New to the .338 lapua. First crack at loading

    Due to the super high demands on every powder that I would even think about using. I'm currently forced to use some old IMR 4893 I've had for some time. It's producing some decent groups but I'm sure with other powders I'll get a bit better results. Or more temp stable results Rifle. Badger...

    1945 yds and 1524 yds with 338lm Savage 110ba

    Re: 1945 yds and 1524 yds with 338lm Savage 110ba I'm jealous. Just purchased a Badger Ordanace chambered in .338lm. I have land available to shoot about 1500 yards. But nothing like this. Must be rough to have that kind of distance available to you.

    Why are shooters saying AR style 308s hard to shot

    Re: Why are shooters saying AR style 308s hard to shot I've shot an AR-10t for a several years and actually I'm more comfortable behind it than I am behind my AI MKII. I can shoot the AI a bit more accurate than the AR b ut the AR is bone stock. The AR will run hand in hand with my AI to 800...

    Hunting & Fishing Long kill shots????

    Took this small 8 point at 318 yrds, AI MKII .308 using 175 grain sierras over 45 grains of RE-15. Shot had it's difficulties as any hunting situation would. First time I've ever had the chance to take a shot on a deer at a range over 200 yards. I know this isn't a big deer or is the range all...

    Range Report .308 1000 yds humor

    Didn't really know what topic to post this under but I think I may have a little bit of good info here. Been getting some good range time the past few days with my AI .308. I'm shooting 175g SMK over 44.5g of varget and having pretty good results 2650 for velocity. Overall groups are staying...
