    Realistic range of the 338 Lapua

    Re: Realistic range of the 338 Lapua exactly. I also did hoot and holler too when I hit the mile... then I spent another year trying to develop a system of ammo/rifle/technique to get 1 MOA performance at 1 mile, and even dare for cold bore hits at a mile, but so far, for me, it's been quite...

    Realistic range of the 338 Lapua

    Re: Realistic range of the 338 Lapua ^ 100% correct, given enough rounds, and/or zero wind, you will eventually hit at 1 mile.

    Realistic range of the 338 Lapua

    Re: Realistic range of the 338 Lapua has there been a comparison of Berger 300 to Lapua Scenar 300?

    Finally hit the mile mark!

    Re: Finally hit the mile mark! JHF, agreed. In my particular mile/ELR shooting area (BLM) we are going across half a mile of slowly descending rolling hills, then the 2nd half of a mile is across a deep/steep canyon and the target is on the opposite slope of this canyon. Really hard to read...

    Finally hit the mile mark!

    Re: Finally hit the mile mark! I don't think practice/time is that which will get you to consistent hits at ELR distances like the mile. Based on my experience in this pursuit for last three years (not alot admittedly), I'd say reading the wind is the final variable and ultimate limitation...

    ELR Course at Gunsite

    Re: ELR Course at Gunsite whenever I attend these sorts of programs, I always get envious of those with nice cans ... in Cali we'd be treated like the worst sort of felons with the same piece of hardware legal in many other states.

    2 mile shooting -3500 yards

    Re: 2 mile shooting -3500 yards altitude sure helps. I think we are shooting at a DA of about 3k-4k feet at our shooting location. This will be year 3 of working on mile shooting... be interesting to see if more practice will have improved us or have we hit the wall of our loads/eqpt. My...

    2 mile shooting -3500 yards

    Re: 2 mile shooting -3500 yards I am also very surprised at how good you can see at 2 miles... here in Cali where our long distance shooting occurs from Oct to May (due to fire risk closure) and thus cooler, we still have heat wave mirage at one mile and the target is fuzzy at the edges even...

    .338 Lapua Short Range Stability?

    Re: .338 Lapua Short Range Stability? There are exercises to eliminate or reduce flinch... we were trained to have a partner feed our chamber with live and spent cartridges, mostly spent ones, and you keep doing that until your live shots are flinch free. That's after alot of dry firing empty...

    .338 Lapua Short Range Stability?

    Re: .338 Lapua Short Range Stability? Davide, you are getting an SD of 2.8 on a sample of 10 trials? In my experience that is really tight. I tried 250 and 300 Scenars but settled on slightly better performance for 300 at mile distance. However I had another experienced 338LM shooter...

    .338 Lapua Short Range Stability?

    Re: .338 Lapua Short Range Stability? I can equally accept Cory's point of view.

    .338 Lapua Short Range Stability?

    Re: .338 Lapua Short Range Stability? Drew, that is a fair question. I've experienced this myself, albeit totally unscientifically, where at 300-400 yards groups were somewhat larger than expected, but then I would get much smaller groups (wrt MOA, not absolute dimensions) at distances past...

    Re: 2030yds with pics! there are great videos on youtube of hollow point bullets hitting steel, in very slow motion, and you see the copper jacket peeling apart like flower petals just like the OPs pic. The bullet must have hit the steel pretty much perpendicular for this to happen, I would...
