    What is the reason for this flyer?

    Operator error. Looks like cheek placement on the last shot changed. It could be trigger pull also.

    338 Lapua Improved?????

    I use 96 grains of Retumbo. Velocity is around 2875 on a 30" Broughton 5C. I can probably push it to 2900 fps + but no need for it though. Here's a side by side comparison.

    Need advice on a long range rig

    Sounds like a good deal to me to get started. 300 Winny is a great cartridge for long range work. You can always re-barrel the rifle down the road when money start rolling in.

    recommendations for a good powder measure?

    For extruded powder, any of the electronic dispenser from RCBS, Hornady and Lyman will do. Get the Harrel for your ball powder. It's pricey but they're accurate.

    Advice/Opinions please. Ejector marks OCW

    Did you chronograph the load. Ejector mark is a sign of higher chamber pressure. Keeping the cartridge in a hot chamber will result in a higher than normal pressure.

    good deer/elk caliber

    I'll say either the 308 or the 270 will do.

    I install one for my 6BR. I bought it together with an Atlas Bipod. I can't remember the brand. Let me look for it and let you know.

    Rifle Scopes another viper pst goes down from 338 lm

    I have the same problem when I mounted an IOR 3X18X42 on my 338 Lapua. It only lasted 60 rounds and the darn scope fell apart. Talk to Scott at IOR and got a replacement right away. Mounted the replacement scope and again, it only last no more than 60 rounds. The third replacement ended up in my...

    Get a USO. I replaced a Leupy MK 4 from my 6.5-47 with a use US-Optics ER - 25. I couldn't be happier.

    300 wby vs a 308win

    2950 fps with 178 A-Max in 308? I doubt it.

    Is it me, or the rifle?

    +1 Find an older Remmy trigger, not that POS that came with your SPS. Have a Smith tune the trigger to around 1.5 lbs. Then develop load that will shoot well with your rifle and then practice, practice and practice some more. 308 is not finicky to load. You should not have problem finding a...

    New Tikka Sporter in .260

    I don't think you'll have problem with a 20" barrel. I'm shooting my 6.5-47 at 1K shoot using Berger 130 VLD at 2785 fps with no problem.
