    Quickload vs reality.....whats real???

    I've had Quick Load since it was initially introduced. Provided you fill in the appropriate data,the program does a great job to get you in the ballpark. I've used it mostly for 338LM and 50BMG. The program was VERY accurate when I tried 338LM using very slow powders ie,H50BMG,VV24N41 and...

    338lm sizing problem

    I have an AIAW in 338LM that I purchased from Stacey Blankenship that came with a barrel with English proof marks(Border? 1/11 twist) Over the years I've owned Tac338 McMillan-built by McMillan and then had GAP fit a Schneider 1/9.3 barrel,AR30 which was later rebarrelled by GAP with a Mile Rock...

    Number of Posts went way down

    I totally agree. The site was quite ponderous at best as of late. The new site is far better. I honestly would like the post issue corrected,but,we are all affected. At least now it doesn't take forever to load.

    Number of Posts went way down

    I think your post count is important. It shows your dedication and contribution to the community at this site. Granted some have padded their count just to peddle their tacticool gear, but overall it was earned. Yesterday I went from 4402 and this morning I'm in the 980's. I truly hope this...

    California program to seize illegal guns gaining notice

    In these cases,the person in question is "supposed to be" informed by the court,that as a result of their violation they would be in violation of California Firerams statures and as a result would not be able to possess firerams. That said,these confiscations are a result of CONVICTED...

    243 barrel life with 105 gr and H-1000

    Re: 243 barrel life with 105 gr and H-1000 More like 1000 before you see a big drop in accuracy. You will,without a doubt, see substantial throat erosion by 1500.

    Rifle Scopes what base for AWM 338 lapua 28? 48"

    Re: what base for AWM 338 lapua 28? 48" If you are going to use a S&B PMII 5-25x you need the 45. The other mount has a clearance issue with that particular scope.

    How many rounds through a 300wm before....

    Re: How many rounds through a 300wm before.... Fact is 300 win mag,is burning alot of powder and is harder on the throat than a 308. My GAP 300 was built with a Mike Rock barrel and was the most accurate rifle I've ever owned. I noticed a slight drop off in accuracy at 900 rounds just because...

    Opinions on the correct caliber.

    Re: Opinions on the correct caliber. No way with a 338LM. You are absolutely pushing the case integrity.24"-no way. I got 27750 with 89 RL25 with a 30" schneider 1/9.3" twist on an AR30 (GAP chambered).Pretty much as much as I would load it.That was with a 3.610 COAL. Longer tube or more...

    Do you think the 375CT & 408CT are here to stay?

    Re: Do you think the 375CT & 408CT are here to stay? Honestly, all I think the OP wanted to know is if he would be able to purchase brass and bullets for a stick he spent alot of loot on. NDA's, ultra double top secret devices and their associated software is cool for the operators. 3000...

    Do you think the 375CT & 408CT are here to stay?

    Re: Do you think the 375CT & 408CT are here to stay? Doesn't matter if it becomes SAAMI or even more unlikely C.I.P.,the 338LM got SAAMI specs not that long ago-but it isn't a WILDCAT round.Why should that matter? Provided you reload the specs mean little. As far as banning goes...don't...

    338 Lapua Magnum Load Data Questions for TRG 42

    Re: 338 Lapua Magnum Load Data Questions for TRG 42 My guess is Black Hills in using US869 a ball powder,it meters easily-NOT RETUMBO.101.4grains of Retumbo would be a DISASTER.
