    .338 Lapua Mag

    Re: .338 Lapua Mag Lock-Base= 250 FMJ bullet with some lead exposed on it´s base. Military issue loads use this bullet. Leaves the rifle a trifle faster than 250 Scenar but has a little worse BC. Considering speed, BC and trajectory it is on par with 250 Scenars. Scenar=HPBT with open tip...

    Vihtavuori N-570 for 338 Lapua

    Re: Vihtavuori N-570 for 338 Lapua I do not have any experience with Retumbo but a lot of my friends use N570 with 250 Scenars here in Finland. The bottom line is that it is actually pretty hard to load too much N570 powder with 250 Scenars -> Safe powder. People here have been getting close...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold M5 turret (SHOT show)

    Re: Leupold M5 turret (SHOT show) Probably a stupid question but couldn´t they make a M5 turret to replace the M3 turrets ? This of course depends whether the klick value is built inside the scope or is it just a matter of switching the turrets to new versions ? How is the M3 3.5-10X40 built...

    Gunsmithing Adapter Parker Hale - to - TRG

    I have a rifle built for TRG-bipod. I have one of those bipods. Pity they cost so much nowadays. I have also a real-steel genuine Parker-Hale bipod. I need a PH-adapter that fits to the TRG-bipod attachement point so that I can use TRG-bipod in one rifle and the PH in another rifle at the same...

    short barrelled 338LM

    Re: short barrelled 338LM Isn´t 16" the minimum barrell length for a non-SBR-rifle ? Anyone tried that with 338 Lapua ? With a suppressor one could get a compact rifle that does not deliver too much overpresure to the shooter. The suppressor must be very robust of course as there will be...

    High Powered Biathlon

    Re: High Powered Biathlon In Finland the reservists used to use fullbore rifles in Biathlon competition until the 1980ies. Then some ISU/UIT types wanted to move to .22Lr. The reservists did not. They do not shoot biathlon anymore because nobody was interested in rimfires.

    Suppressors M9 or G34 or G19?

    Re: M9 or G34 or G19? I would take G19 over 92FS. I have both and I am selling the Beretta. For target shooting a USP Expert in 9mm is a good gun. For fast action type shooting a G17 is a little better than G19 because of the longer sight radius. G34/G35 is a ridiclous rule beater gun IMHO...

    Gunsmithing stock options for sako trg

    Re: stock options for sako trg TRG-folder with the extra Picatinny rail handguard system up front adds weight just fine. It will empty your wallet too :-) In Finland some target shooter have switched over to laminated stocks with TRG-21/22. The aluminium skeleton is inletted nad glued into...

    CZ 452-2E ZKM LH AMERICAN in silhouette

    Re: CZ 452-2E ZKM LH AMERICAN in silhouette CZ makes 452 in PH configuration only in Amercian and Luxus version. No Silhuette, no camo etc. Get the American and get the stock you want. I would take a laminated one or a McMillan or Manners. For starters try to American stock first.

    Gunsmithing Left hand build questions

    Re: Left hand build questions Decreasing the size of a magnum bolt is not very cost effective. Changing the barrel is easier than for a Rem 700.

    Range Report Effect of Suppressors?

    Re: Effect of Suppressors? VV N140 might be a little better for shorter barrels. My N150 load is used in a 24" barrel and most of my friends use similar or longer barrels. Beware of pressure though. N150 is actually hard to overload with 155 Scenar. N550 does not work well for 155 Scenar...

    I'm trying to justify the $$ for Quickload

    Re: I'm trying to justify the $$ for Quickload You can do a LOT of what if´s with QL. The secret reason why you should get Quikc Load is that it contains also Quick Target Unlimited. I dare to say that QL is worth´s it´s price solely because of QTU which is the best ballistics program...

    AICS 1500 meters project

    Re: AICS 1500 meters project Stick to the plan :-) Load the .284 Win long i.e about 3.15" to 3.2" with Lapua brass and Berger 180 VLD. Use a healthy does of VV N560 and you WILL shoot out to 1500m and more. .260 Rem will drop like a rock much earlier. Of course you can play with 280 or 280...

    Gunsmithing Left hand build questions

    Re: Left hand build questions Get a Tikka T3 Super Varmint SS LH in 308 or 6.5X55 ( latter is my my preference) and you are all set. Get a Near MFG Picatinnybase if you like Picatinny. Otherwise stick to Optilock rings which can be shimmed all you want. The rifle is a LA because all T3s are...

    Re: Schmidt Bender 5-25x56 or 12.5-50x56 for AIAW .338 12.5-50X SFP is a scope meant mostly for Bench Rest and airgun Field Target competition. Bigger is not always better. Militaries use 3-12X magnification for their field use in the majority of cases. On actual long range shooting over...
