    Yep. Also on a .338LM. However, I seated primers for that batch with a Co-Ax instead of my hand primer, so I haven't ruled that out as the culprit. Let us know what you find out.

    Hunting & Fishing Muck boots stepped in it...

    Go to their website and click on the FB icon at the bottom. In short, they donated $2000 to HSUS who (among many, many other things) is directly opposed to livestock farming, owning horses, etc. Muck's customers are really giving it to them.

    Not if performance is your concern. The more powerful LM is based off the .416 Rigby with about 30% greater case capacity than the .375H&H-based .338WM. They operate off different bolt faces, as well.

    Hunting & Fishing What do you see?

    My thoughts exactly.

    Magnetospeed use with forward brake? Anyone out there had issues?

    I use a V2 on my .338 LM with Fat Bastard. No issues although I did fray the end of the strap that was hanging down. Set it up correctly, and you'll be fine.

    .338 Edge or .338 can't decide????

    Yes and yes.

    .338 Edge or .338 can't decide????

    He'd have to open the bolt face for a NM. Some are uncomfortable doing that with a stock Remmy action. Also, I really don't see the military adopting the .338NM.

    .338 Edge or .338 can't decide????

    It's hard to argue with that if you want to shoot steel at a mile. At shorter distances, velocity gains/losses between the two calibers don't mean much. Sure it sounds great in theory to drive a 300gr Berger 100fps faster, but you won't notice the difference when laying behind the rifle...

    Intersting. I know they had some problems with the county a little while back because the name was too scary. I thought it dealt with Sniper Country, though. I'm sure someone with the answer will chime in shortly.

    Well, even in Hollywood everyone knows DTA's don't miss. If he'd sqeezed off a shot it would have been problem solved...end of storyline. They need to keep the drama flowing.

    This is a company that charges $40 for 2" plastic bore guide and $550 for for a Storm case with pre-cut foam. Why? Because people pay it. I do love my A1, though.

    Hunting & Fishing First suppressed kill with other animals around! IT"S AWESOME!

    We've tested this with suppressed sub loads on turkey. Firing well over their heads, they still took off like one of their buddies had just been hit with a shotgun. Conversely, I've seen deer stick around after a full-power, unsuppressed round just dropped a comrade. I really don't think...

    No, I have a 28" barrel, so fit isn't an issue. The cord could be the problem, but also make sure the sensors are the proper distance from the muzzle, both vertically and along the axis.

    Mine works just fine. I can't think of a variable specific to DTA that would the affect Magnetospeed. Check the instructions to make sure you're not violating any of their guidelines as far as the attachment to the barrel goes.
