    So what is the story with Vekronix Terrapin??

    Just got an email for EuroOptic that mine is finally on it's way! From the sound of it, they do not believe that there will be any more Terrapins to be had, but time will tell, I guess. I can't wait to try mine out!

    Suppressors suppressor for 338LM

    I shoot my old Stainless Titan without ear pro as long as I am not under an awning or something. Out in the open it is hearing safe. I have done 50-60 shots in an outing with no problems. It's quieter than an LWRC REPR with a 762 SDN-6 and a 5.56 with a Mini-4.

    Quick question about shooting 1.5 miles on 338 LM

    Ok Lowlight, What rig would you use to send 300s at 2900+ or 250s at 3100? I mean what case, barrel length, etc. Thanks, Jfields

    .300 win mag w/208 amax at 1202 yards question

    You, Sir have a hammer! And are not a bad shot either. Damned impressive. I would buy 3 or 4 more barrels just like that one to have on hand. What do you think barrel life will be shooting the 230s at that speed?

    338 lapua to a mile. dope?

    Most scopes have plenty of elevation for a mile. You will need at least a 20 MOA base if you are using some of the scopes with less elevation. 17.5 mils gets me to a mile at sea level. 300 OTM AT 2740 FPS.

    Suppressors Which .45 to suppress

    My Silencerco Osprey and FNP45 combo is very quiet and I have yet to have a malfunction of any kind. It has been a blast to shoot.

    Why not .338 LM Ackley Improved?

    Thanks for all the great info, guys. I'll take all of this in to consideration when I get my barrel and send it to the smith.

    Load development in a Box

    I have been thinking about doing this for years. I guess I need to haul off and just do it. The only thing that concerns me is that it's windy as hell most of the time where I live. I don't know how I would get a scale to act right unless I put it in some sort of box. -J

    Why not .338 LM Ackley Improved?

    If you are trying to send a 300 grain Berger or Scenar or Matchking, etc. as fast as possible without going to the larger bolt diameter of the .375 or .408 cases, is the .338 AI not the way to go? I know you are going to have the headache of fire forming your brass, but what other...

    giraud trimmers

    After waiting for a year for a suppressor or SBR stamp, the 90 days for a Giraud is not bad. It has changed the way I reload. Great piece of gear and worth the wait and the cash. -J

    QuickLoad QL - need load for 338 Lap

    QL is not very accurate without your OWN H2O capacity info. That being said, work up to ~94 grains and you should be OK. -J

    Picking up Savage 110 FCP in 338 Lapua

    The BA is .900 at the muzzle and the FCP is .845. I would have to take the actions out of the stocks to get the measurement at the barrel nut, but I know the BA is bigger there as well. I am just starting load development for the FCP. I will let you know how it goes. -J

    Picking up Savage 110 FCP in 338 Lapua

    I have both. Besides the obviously different stock, the BA has a heavier profile barrel. I'm not sure if they use the same reamer, but my load in the BA is 92 grains of Retumbo under the 300 OTM. That shoots .3 MOA in the BA and about 1.5 MOA in the FCP. It is also over 100 FPS slower in the...

    285 gr .338" A-Max

    Anybody done any more testing of this bullet in .338 LM? I am about to pull the trigger on a 100 to do load work-up. I would love to hear somebody's thoughts on how this bullet compares to the Berger 300 OTM at distances past 1500 meters. -J

    7.62 Modern Battle Rifle Experiences?

    My 16" REPR is light, Piston Operated, shoots ~MOA with FGMM 168 & Black Hills 175, has great ergonomics (side charger is nice) and has been utterly reliable. I shoot it suppressed, so the adjustable gas block is a welcome addition. I have had two other 308 ARs. A 16 inch Armalight AR10 and...

    Kaboom at Manatee today!

    This is a great reminder for me personally, as I have knocked dozens of stuck .338 cases out of my 110BA. Glad nobody was seriously injured. -J

    How much material do you remove from Lake City primer crimps?

    I did 2100 pieces of range brass a couple months ago with the Hornady. I chucked it up in my cordless drill and went to work. I don't think you can go too far with it, but I had to go back and re-do all the Speer brass because it has a monster crimp on it. The Hornady is GTG. -J

    Did some testing of a solid today... @ 1k.

    That's pretty outstanding and the price isn't bad either. I guess if you are going this route, you may as well do an .338 LM AI. That would have to mean close to 3,300 FPS. If you're going to be a bear... be a grizzly, eh?
