    338 Norma -vs- 338 Lapua (Savage 110BA)

    Re: 338 Norma -vs- 338 Lapua (Savage 110BA) Since I'm "ready" to start shooting 338 Lapua now (I have the rifle, and all the misc pieces), it's probably a little late to change direction. I'm a little more curious to hear thoughts on switching to 338 Norma once this factory barrel is shot...

    338 Norma -vs- 338 Lapua (Savage 110BA)

    Now that I'm set-up to shoot 338 Lapua... If I load the 300gr Berger to AICS mag-length, it REALLY extends down into the powder column. I'm kind of wondering if I should have looked a little harder at the 338 Norma Mag from the start. Also already thinking maybe 338 Norma might be the way to...

    New brass sizing / RL 550B technique

    Normally when I get a new box of rifle brass, I lube the inside of the necks with dry lube on a brush. Then I dab a little Imperial sizing wax near the case head. I run them through a factory neck-die (station 1) and body die (station 3). Then I trim and run them through the cleaner. When I...

    Here is my Ruger 77/357 Bolt Action Rifle Review

    Re: Here is my Ruger 77/357 Bolt Action Rifle Review Shot mine yesterday. Accuracy wasn't so great at ~100yds from a bench & bipod with my Montana Gold 158gr flat-nose hand loads (~15.4gr H110), but it seemed great off-hand at closer distances. Just screwing around turning big rocks into...

    338 Lapua (powder, bullet, primer) & Savage 110BA

    Re: 338 Lapua (powder, bullet, primer) & Savage 110BA I think he meant N570 tends to produce the highest muzzle velocities.

    Dillon RL 550B & 338 Lapua?

    I found one -- and only one -- thread where someone said they couldn't seat 338 Lapua on their Dillon RL 550B because the round was too long. Is this a common issue? I was hoping to load the 300gr Berger Hybrid and the mag can handle up to ~3.850" COAL. I thought I had seen the max length...
