    DT or AI for LE

    It's not a 338

    Hornady versus Berger

    They do give maximum velocity for their bullets, most of which I find to be slower than I want to go. The A-Tip's list great bc's, and probably have it, but can't handle the velocity of most magnums.

    DT or AI for LE

    You know it all, so why ask me? But you did, so. The 338 Lapua was designed for a 250 grain projectile, and was standardized shorter than the optimum length for the later 300 grain projectiles. You certainly understand the 300 grain projectiles have higher bc's, but must be pushed farther into...

    DT or AI for LE

    The AI's are more professional and probably reliable than the SRS, and their mags are built better, however as great as the AI mags are, they are too short for a properly seated (not SIP/SAMMI) 300 grain 338 Lapua! I do believe the SRS barrel mounting is superior, and much like a barrel block...

    Hornady versus Berger

    I have had very good success with Berger, every time. I thought Hornady stepped up their game with the A-Tip's but I can't push them to the velocity I want and get with the Berger's, they blow up! Maybe ok for slower rounds, but not mine.

    What is your preferred scope level?

    I like the Knights Armament rail mounted level. It is not prone to being damaged mounted below the scopes ocular lens. My off eye is not capable of focusing on an object, so I must use my sighting eye and look in whatever direction the level is located, down is easier for me. I have gone to this...

    Caliber question not tryin to start an argument

    The 6.5 PRC is not a magnum. I don't think the recoil is bad, but mine is on the heavy side.

    Do I need a shotgun?

    I've got (2) SPAS 12's, a KSG, AND (3) Browning A5's. Guns are like golf clubs, gotta have a bag full

    Do I need a shotgun?

    Doesn't everyone already have one?

    Magnetospwwd V3 or LabRadar?

    I have been using my V3 for 5 years, and with a pic rail mount I made, for the last year. It has worked extremely well, and with my mount No POI shift. It is quick to mount, and always stays rock solid. That said, I have been working on a more easily adjustable mount that will cover a broad...

    Hard to spot bullet holes at 300 yards

    How about going to a .416 Barrett? Bigger holes, easier to see.....

    Did I choose the right caliber ?

    I my opinion the 6.5 CM is the best choice for you. It is not a high recoil round, and it will do everything you want to do. As you stated ammo is more available, and priced reasonably. 147 gr Hornady ELDM is a great choice for factory ammo. You don't need to hand load, buy some good ammo and go...

    Anyone built a 1/2 minute rifle off a Wby action?

    I think you are correct, Weatherby rifles especially the later ones, are as capable or more of accuracy. In my opinion the Mk V actions have much more to offer than most currently available actions. I looked at using one myself, and probably would have if I didn't have my Desert Tech. Personally...

    Anyone built a 1/2 minute rifle off a Wby action?

    The Weatherby MK V action is very strong, smooth, and has a 59 degree bolt rotation so it is quick. I came across these guy's that specialize in custom Weatherby stuff, even a custom chassis, check them out. https://lrplongrangeprecision.com/

    what are you guys using for tough tactical combat pants?

    UF Pro Stryker X combat pants. Expensive but worth it, the best I've seen. https://ufpro.com/us/pants/combat-pants/striker-x-combat-pants Watch the video on their development, it sounds like they made them for you. High waist and lots of stretch in the seat. I especially like the detail they...

    Dream: Shooting out your back porch/window/walk out basement?

    I am blessed too, I am in awe of what God has given us, He is so good! Been reading up on Heaven though, and it is much better!

    Dream: Shooting out your back porch/window/walk out basement?

    That's why we don't do it till 60, and it helps that the kids are out of the house by then too so there is more money to throw at it!

    Dream: Shooting out your back porch/window/walk out basement?

    I have shot rifles since I was very young, stsrted with my Dad's Winchester 74 22 short then his md 70 220 Swift. Rifle shooting was a different world back then. I was 60 when I took my first long range classes, really got into it, and I love it! You can start anytime, get into a good class...
