    Why are militaries going for .338LM instead of 300 magnums?

    Lapua and Ruag Swiss P make AP ammo for the 338 LM. Barrel life for the 300 WM is typically 1000-1500 rounds, 338 LM is higher. Have seen literature that SAKO lists the accurate life for the TRG42 5000+.

    presses for 338 lapua mag?

    Redding T7 turret press. Lots of room for dies, and leverage (for sizing) and once set up, you don't have to mess with them--just rotate the turret to use the die you need. I got an extra turret to keep all of my dies mounted. Saves a lot of time...

    Considering taller press for 338LM

    Redding T7! I have spare "turrets" so have my dies set up on the different "long calibers." It saves me lots of time, as my dies are aligned. Another hint: I use a 1" rubber o-ring (Home Depot or Lowes) under the lock rings, as they help to "center" the dies on the turret. My run-out for...

    M21 casing ejection angle

    I used my dremel with the emery cutting wheel to clip one coil (360 degrees worth) at a time. Clean the coil well with canned air, oil, re-install, shoot/test. I usually ended up cutting 2-4 coils to "train" my M1A back in the day... ;)
