    .338 Lapua or .338 Rem Ultra

    Re: .338 Lapua or .338 Rem Ultra My vote is also for the Lapua. Yes the brass is A LOT more on the front end. However, you can get 15 loads out of each piece if you anneal. Look at remmy brass, a full tilt load, you may see 3 or 4 loads before the primers just fall out and/or the necks start...

    .338 AX why should I do it?

    Re: .338 AX why should I do it? Excalibur, this round is NOT a barrel eater whatsoever. Perhaps you are thinking of the Allen Magnum as this is a .338 lapua improved based on Kirby Allen's design. Lodi, brass will be .338 lapua fire formed. The body taper is straightened a bit and the...

    5000 meters+ Supersonic (*Updated with pics*)

    Re: 5000 meters+ Supersonic Hear it????? With all due respect I want to be there to see it! LOL With those kind of numbers I would assume it's going to be one those "stand back and brace yourself" type of deals for onlookers. sheesh the muzzle pressure is enough to cut off apendages if close...

    5000 meters+ Supersonic (*Updated with pics*)

    Re: 5000 meters+ Supersonic Doubled that thing is no where near what Jon is doing. The ballistics on that fat heavy jdj at their velocities makes it a small cannon, no doubt. But the exterior ballistics just aren't there. Jon's 14.5 ops is going to be something to truly admire if the accuracy...

    .338 AX why should I do it?

    So I have a .338 lapua..... but I have a really nasty itch that is begging me to Allen Xpress it..... Those with experience please chime in. I need the absolute pro's and con's of this "improvement." And anyone who owns one who wants to sell me a dummy round loaded with a 300 to 3.750" would be...

    Hunting & Fishing Rifle zero for hunting?

    Re: Rifle zero for hunting? Something not discussed yet...... do you have easy dial turrets to begin with? And where are you hunting? I have a 1/2 moa hunting rifle with a scope that you don't field dial. Where I hunt I won't see a shot longer than about 275 yds, ever. So I zero at 150yds But...

    Hunting & Fishing TXPWD to Consider Legalizing Hunting w/ Cans

    Re: TXPWD to Consider Legalizing Hunting w/ Cans I just wish that the folks making the decisions would get their heads out of the sand and legalize them in every state. I enjoy a good boomer as much as anyone but seriously........ they are more worried about cans than all those annoying...

    Too many weapons

    Re: Too many weapons I just realized I am guilty of a couple.... Is it bad when you have to choose which weapons to leave out of your (quite large) gun safe?

    Buying .338 Lupua in bulk

    Re: Buying .338 Lupua in bulk LOL, The lapua is not chambered for cartridges, it's chambered for $5 bills! I would get quality lapua brass as the life is fantastic as long as you anneal and don't max em out every load. As far as projectiles.......... good luck. There are way too many...

    Reloading die for .338 Lapua Magnum

    Re: Reloading die for .338 Lapua Magnum Redding comp dies. I have had a lot of not so fun sizing problems with rcbs lately and I have found that their quality has gone down as of late. I am currently not using many of their dies because of it.
