    Re: 1000 yard + load for .30-06 My gun has a 22" tube. Do I need to use a faster burning powder for this setup?

    Price on Badger Magazine

    I have a .338 Lapua on its way. It was built on a Lawton action with Badger DBM. It has one mag already and I would like another. Where is the cheapest place to get one of these?

    .338 Lapua

    Re: .338 Lapua I found some RL25 and ordered it. This morning I found some 4832sc. Which is going to be the better powder for the .338? Is one less temp sensitive than the other?

    .338 Lapua

    Re: .338 Lapua Thanks. I had already read that thread. A lot of guys are using powders that I can't find right now. I was trying to find some other options for powder. I did find some RE 25 in 1 lb containers. I can't find primers to save my life, but of course no one can right now.

    .338 Lapua

    Re: .338 Lapua The sierra manual says to use Viht N165 for 250 SMKs and for the 300's use IMR 4350. Anyone have experience with these?

    .338 Lapua

    I have been reloading .308 for a while and am now getting ready to load for a new .338 Lapua I just bought. I want to have the furthest effective range (supersonic) I can get. I have a 25.5 inch barrel on a Lawton action. What powders work well in this cartridge and what is the best bullet...

    Barrel Length vs. range on 338 Lapua

    I am getting ready to build and was thinking of a 27-29 inch tube since that seems to be the standard length for this caliber. I am looking at one right now that has a 25" barrel. How much range am I giving up with a 25" barrel? Thanks

    .338 Suppresor?

    I see that AI has some of their muzzle brakes threaded for suppressors. What would the best way to set up a barrel so it had a brake with the ability to suppress it down the road? What would the best suppressor for this be? I am doing a custom build, not an AI.

    Sako TRG 42?

    I am deciding what to do for a .338 Lapua. In reading about the TRG I have heard that the twist rate isn't fast enough to stabilize the 300 gr. smk. Is this true? I have heard that the solutions available for mounting a 34mm tubed scope are unreliable and fragile. How accurate is this? How...

    Advanced Marksmanship Can't get my sitting position to work

    I have been shooting sitting with a sling. When i cross my ankles I can't get the elevation high enough to bring the gun on the target. I end up with NPA well below the target array. I have slid my legs like scissors to the point I am almost ankle on ankle and still can't get it. The back of...

    .338 Lapua over .300 WM?

    I have trying to figure out what caliber to build a 1500 plus rifle in. In looking at the drop tables from Later's site it looks like the .338 Lapua table only has 40 inches less drop at 2K when compared to a .300 win mag. Am I missing something? Are those two rounds really that close in...

    Rangefinder for ELR

    what are people using for rangefinders out to 2500 yards. I have a Leica that goes to 1K. I heard Cheytac uses this Vector IV I can't see where to buy them. Are they military sales only? Do they cost more than my house? So, what is the way to do this?
