    Barrel length for 338 Lapua at ELR

    2720fps with factory Lapua 300 Scenar ammo from a 24.5" barrel. You can easily hit 2750 with Retumbo handloads. I've run .338s in everything from an 18.5" to a 27.5" and the 24" is the best of everything. I would never go longer, but I hate long barrels in general.

    New Sponsor - Bullets.com

    Yep. I've looked EVERYWHERE for months to find them. Bullets was a couple $ higher than some places (that were out of stock) and a couple $ lower than some (also out of stock). 1000pc are now on my bench. Shipping was quick and I received order updates all along the way. I'll add Bullets...

    Barrett MRAD - non 338LM barrels and bolts?

    I left Barrett almost two years ago. You should contact Ronnie and tell him what you said here. At this point, I'm an MRAD owner waiting like everyone else. My MRAD kicks ass like the day I bought it, though. I'd like them to hurry up with the conversions, but won't get rid of my rifle in the...

    260 rem vs 6.5 creedmoor for HUNTING

    That's total BS. The effect will be identical. Use your .260 supplies.

    260 rem vs 6.5 creedmoor for HUNTING

    What's in stock on any one day right now is irrelevant. I've bought two and a half cases of GMM .260 during this year's panic for $24.99 per box. Since there is zero difference in the ballistics between the two (the OPs original question) we can only look at other aspects of the cartridges...

    260 rem vs 6.5 creedmoor for HUNTING

    There are 22 offerings for the .260 on Midway. There are 7 for the Creedmoor. Federal makes Gold Medal Match .260 (though it's been as rare as anything during the last year). 260 brass is offered by Remington, Lapua, Nosler, SSA/SWA, and can be made with a single pass through a sizing die from...

    Another 260 load thread (123 SMK's)

    Ha. That's funny, I just tried Varget in my .260 gas gun for the first time and it bugholed at 39.3gr with consistent POI from 39.0-39.9gr. What's the saying... even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then.

    Anyone running a 2.5-10x32 Vortex on their AR's?

    I have a couple of the 2.5-10x32 FFP MIL. Definitely one of my favorite optics.

    Rifle Scopes 2.5-10x32 FFP Vortex PST and Recoil any field experience on this model yet ?

    I have been running one on my .308 gas gun for a while. I really like it. Light enough & small enough, but still gives good performance. I don't think the smaller 32mm Obj is the greatest idea, but if does help keep the weight down at least. I've ordered more of them.

    6.8 SPC magazine experiences

    Barrett, ASC, PRI, C Products have all been great for me. I only have one AR Stoner, but it has been fine, too.

    JP barrel vs. Ranier Ultra Match barrel

    5.56, the Rainier will perform well. I have two that are outstanding. In fact, the first group I ever fired from the 16" super match was a cloverleaf under .25". The Match (their less expensive line) is actually as good or better with some loads. I also have one of their .308s. I'm not as...

    New Tikka Sporter in .260

    For reference, I get 2975fps from a 22" using H4350 and a 123 Scenar. That's above book, but book is only 57,000PSI in many cases so that's totally irrelevant.
