    CCI LR primer failures?

    Re: CCI LR primer failures? When you shoot enough, you will come across primers that will not go bang on the first hit. I've seen all brands FTF, CCI #200, BR-2 and #250, FED 210, 210M, 215M, etc. Most will fire on a second firing pin strike. Just lift the bolt (not to the rear) and lower...

    Best bullet for 338 Lapua Mag???

    Re: Best bullet for 338 Lapua Mag??? The 300 grain SMK is the cats ass for the 338 LM. It has a huge BC and will shoot flatter and have less wind drift than the 250's. I don't know about the 1:11.5 twist though. Most use a 1:10 or faster. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div...

    Re: Poor man's PROMETHEUS powder scale Not bad! Get you an RCBS electric powder dispenser and an AccuLab digital scale with your trickler, and you'll cut your time near in half. While your trickling on the digital scale, the RCBS is dispensing your next powder charge.

    RCBS Gold Medal Seat Die 300WM w/ 208 Amax - FAIL

    Re: RCBS Gold Medal Seat Die 300WM w/ 208 Amax - FAIL Yes, when you go to the heavy-for-caliber, VLD shaped bullets, some seating stems will not work. I use Redding comp dies (sizing and micrometer seating), and they work great. You can also get a standard set of Hornady FL dies, and get the...

    Range Report Prvi Partizan 338 Lapua - Range Report

    Re: Prvi Partizan 338 Lapua - Range Report The Prvi cases I've seen were pretty poor. I don't know that I would want to shoot the cheap, dirty ammo through a nice 338 LM. You can find some good stuff HERE.

    6.5 Creedmoor - neck sizing die?

    Re: 6.5 Creedmoor - neck sizing die? You can also use Redding 260 neck bushing dies. All your sizing is the neck, so it won't matter. But I would FL size it also.

    Hornady 30 cal 225's

    Re: Hornady 30 cal 225's I use this link for all my trajectory data. I understand it to be JBM. The other 2 guys were using JBM and one other program, maybe PDA data. I was running 2702 avg fps last weekend, and 888 said he was running 2840, and the other was ~2800 fps. I'm about to switch...

    looking for the 'it' .300 Win Mag Powder...

    Re: looking for the 'it' .300 Win Mag Powder... R22 is the best overall powder for the 300WM, mainly for about 160-190 grain bullets. It is not a finiky combination and is easy to find a good load for. But it is temp sensitive in extreme temp swings. For lighter bullets, either 4350 is great...

    First try at bullet pointing

    Re: First try at bullet pointing I also use the Whidden system, and with my 140 VLD's out of a 260 at 2840 fps, I'm seeing right at 3/4 MOA less drop at 600 yards. I have also tipped my 130 grain VLD's, and noticed a greater increase in BC at 2984 fps. The 130 is running faster, therefore you...

    260

    Re: 260 About 2000-3000 rounds, depending on how hard you push it. Most have seen 2300-2500 rounds before a you notice a fall off in accuracy. I'm at 2200 rounds and still shooting sub 1/4 moa. I'm thinking it will be soon.

    Re: 1000 yard shot at golf ball with 338LM Yes, the shot was made on a golf ball at 1000 yards with witnesses, and it was my 338 Lapua Mag ammo being used (see link). It was a 250 grain SMK loaded in Hornady brass. The hit happened on shot 10 or 11. It was not a first round hit. The rifle...

    Hornady 30 cal 225's

    Re: Hornady 30 cal 225's We were also shooting flatter than predicted with the .670 BC. We took our known come-ups, and plugged them into several programs using a G7 BC. The BC that worked with our come-ups was .351. We had 3 seperate 300 WM's shooting 3 different speeds. Using the .351 G7 BC...
