    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    I will probably do this at some point. Did you have any problem with the handguards lining up with the receiver rails? So you just spin one off and screw the smaller one on?

    Trying to understand runout...

    I've heard that partially seating a bullet and then backing it out of the die, rotating the round 180 degrees, and then seating it the rest of the way will help with runout. I'm not entirely sure if this is the case but I have always done it and have had pretty good luck.

    5000 meters+ Supersonic (*Updated with pics*)

    This is where I'm at on this whole deal. We can argue all day long about what's viable or not in the field. The bottom line is that new technology gleamed from projects like this can be used in less specialized applications. A lot of the technology developed from NASA projects has been used in...

    How much H1000 are you using to push a 300gr bullet(.338LM)?

    Are you getting any signs of overpressure?

    What is the best way to align them? I will be doing this in a couple days so it would be very helpful to know.

    Distance for 175 vs 168

    Anyone know how the 155 noslers compare to the lapua 155s. I got a pretty good line on them.

    Distance for 175 vs 168

    If you can find the 178s. If I had to do it over I'd try to use a different bullet than the 178 due to lack of availability. Probably go with 175s. IIRC don't the 155s have similar or better BC? If so I would much rather run those, could push them faster.

    How do you store your armor?

    Really? I wonder what the rational is behind that and I wonder if that applies to soft armor with plates on it?

    Overpressure, overnight...

    I use 44.5 behind a 178gr a max at 2.845 and haven't had any problems. 2600fps out of a 20" barrel and 2714fps out of a 22".

    Inconsistencies with virgin brass and new bullets

    The only thing I would mention about using new brass would be to neck size to assure consistent neck tension. It probably doesn't need it with lapua brass but I've seen some with slightly deformed mouths from shipping. I use the larger bushing with redding type s dies.

    Suppressors Titanium suppressor. Which one to get

    I understand that the overbore would be larger with a .338 on a 6mm, but wouldn't the increased volume of the can make up for the lost suppression?

    How do they handle .338 Lapua? I'd probably be shooting bigger slow bullets(300gr@2700)

    Is there something wrong with compressed loads?

    Nothing wrong with compressed loads but you should work up and always pay attention to the level of pressure you're getting. I think there's more even of a burn with the powder being compressed as there isn't any dead space in the case. With a non-compressed load the powder isn't evenly filled...

    Suppressors New law in KS. Residents can buy suppressors w/out tax stamp

    Do you know how to read? The law makes it a felony for a federal agent to try and enforce federal gun laws against a Kansas resident(who is using a firearm made in KS).
