    Rifle Scopes what scope for 338 lapua mag?

    Re: what scope for 338 lapua mag? If you use a spotter with a reticle for distance estimation or a LRF then you are MUCH better off with SB PMII 3-12X50 DT 0,1cm cliks with P4 or Milddot 2nd Gen reticle. Smaller scope hels in the field. P4F is too thin for low light shooting. If you do not...

    Range Report Effect of Suppressors?

    Re: Effect of Suppressors? If you want accuracy AND speed for Lapua 155 Scenar in .308 Win then my recommendation is to cheat. The Cheat for 308 Win: Load the round as long as your rifle just can feed it, use a quality big rifle primer (no magnum primer) and 47,0 grain of Vihtavuori N150...

    to full length re size or not?

    Re: to full length re size or not? Get the rifle with a minimum chamber and then F/L allways. The brass will not get hurt as the F/L sizing will not really move that much brass anyway. With a max sized factory chmaber you might be able to get better accuracy with neck sizing but then you...

    Range Report Barrel life and effeciency of 7mm chamberings

    Re: Barrel life and effeciency of 7mm chamberings Sorry for the delay. Originally .284 Win was meant to be used in a short action and max length was the same as for 308 Win i.e. 2.795" max. .284 Win is much better with heavier bullets when it is loaded long. Long means here anything where...

    Range Report Ballistics Results from Using Lapua Radar Data

    Re: Ballistics Results from Using Lapua Radar Data If one has radar data then that is the most accurate data available for the regular guy. Second comes G7 and third G1. Out to 1000 meters any of those suffice. When we go beyond 12-1300 meters G1 becomes quite inaccurate. Trajectory data is...

    Range Report Barrel life and effeciency of 7mm chamberings

    Re: Barrel life and effeciency of 7mm chamberings If you are getting the rifle built by a gunsmith and reload then my advice is: Long action and 284 Win loaded long. Use Lapua 6.5X284 Norma brass. You can get the Shehane version if you want to pay extra for the reloading dies. Easier route...

    If the 338LM is outlawed: caliber for rechamber?

    Re: If the 338LM is outlawed: caliber for rechamb For US people even the concept that one needs to apply for a license to own ANY firearms might a be little difficult to understand. At least outside Washington DC and NYC and similar places. When I applied for the gun license for my 338...

    338 Norma Magnum

    Re: 338 Norma Magnum The idea of longer magazines is valid. Now people are designing shorter cartridges to fit AI, AWM or AICS magazines. Hello, anybody out there ? Build teh cartridge first then the rifle and all will be well:-)

    Neck sizing vs Full Length sizing?

    Re: Neck sizing vs Full Length sizing? I FL size all ammo for my sniper rifles. I could maybe get a little tighter groups with neck sizing. But I would also get ammo related headaches on the field. Stuck cases in the rifle, oversized brass jamming up the gun etc. I do use Redding S-type FL...

    338 Norma Magnum

    Re: 338 Norma Magnum "I wonder why Lapua even ventured out from the 250gr Scenar to even offer a 300gr Scenar for the Lapua ?!" I talked with Lapua representatives about this. They told me bluntly "Because the market demand is there". They are not necessarily selling a better mouse trap...

    338 Norma Magnum

    Re: 338 Norma Magnum "Mag length is what hurts the Lapua" I believe mag length will hurt only AI AWM and AICS mags because they were built too short to begin with for the 338 Lapua. TRG-42 mags are longer. How come the company (AI) involved in CIP-proofing the cartrigde ended up buildig mags...

    338LM dies

    Re: 338LM dies I use a Redding S-type FL sizer with .365" TiN bushing plus Carbide sizing button kit. The seater is a Forster Ultra micrometer seater. The latter one is 50 USD cheaper than Redding Compe seater but of the same quality. I have a Redding Comp seater in 308 and it works well too...

    Gunsmithing Tikka M55 picatinny rail

    Re: Tikka M55 picatinny rail Proper TRG-22/42 rails will not fit because they have recoil stops wehre Tikka 55 does not have holes. Near Mfg makes Picatinny rails for Tikka T3 and they should work just fine with Tikka 55. Basically any T3 Picatinny rail should function. You may have drill...
