    338 Norma what am I missing?

    I don't want to list barrel mfg names here; I do not want to come off as exclusionary or promoting one brand over another even though the first may be great. Contact us at he shop & we'll gladly tell you what brands we use. By the way, we are happy to use whatever brand you are comfortable...

    338 Norma what am I missing?

    The 9 twist is what we recommend as a minimum for the 198, so it will work. We tested them in a 9 and know that they are stable in the 9. But why be on the edge if you are building a bullet specific rifle? Better to be in the safe window of operation rather than at or near the point of...

    Advancement in Projectiles

    Since the finger is being pointed even though no one is naming names, let me just go on record here with the following statements. First, the most important factor in a bullets design may or may not be how well its handles stability through the transonic zone. It all depends on what it is...

    Elr central world record event

    Bradu- That is where you are wrong. The intention of most match directors and all involved in setting up the preliminary guidelines is for it to be as inclusive as possible. Run what you have, period. Classes are and being devised at different levels so one can do this without being discouraged...

    Elr central world record event

    While locations are hard to come by, travel should not be your deterrent. If one can afford to put 20k in an ELR system, it shouldn't be that big a deal to figure out logistics to get to a match. Yes, flying sucks, and it sucks more with gear, but there are ways to get your stuff to a location...

    Elr central world record event

    Difficult question to put a number on. I think one has to discern between those that would compete and those that simply want to push the boundaries of distance shooting without adding competition to their goals. Clearly, those that want to compete have the same goal as those that do not, but...

    Elr central world record event

    I've been eating my pop corn and watching this thread from the cheap seats, but can do that no longer. While I come from the target shooting game of LR 1000 yard competition, there is no way one could ever feasibly take ERL onto that type of playing field. There are only a handful of places in...

    6.5 Creedmoor for a mile?

    So in light of all the variation, I will sample the various mfg's of the Creedmoor brass and publish a chart based on the capacities. There will not be a great deal of variation in the charts, as they are all starting loads. That means that they are backed off enough so that variation you...

    6.5 Creedmoor for a mile?

    I can do you one better, if you can wait until tomorrow. Since there are so many mfg's of Creedmoor brass, it is near impossible to keep up with the varying capacities. If you send us an email ([email protected]), and include the capacity of your case(s) in H2O wight in grain, I can...

    6.5 Creedmoor for a mile?

    The 26" 6.5 Creedmoor is in the list, but if you are looking for a combination that isn't, we are happy to generate a chart for you.

    6.5 Creedmoor for a mile?

    Flatline 121g 6.5 is supersonic to 1900 yards in a Creedmoor. Just sayin...

    Stepping up from 6.5

    Absolutely not. You can run the 180 in any 30 cal you want. Case capacity and velocity aside of course. There is no reason you couldn't run the 180's in the 300 Norma. It would work quite well I'm sure. Question is though, why would you want to when the 198 is far superior to the 180 in...

    Range Report 308/198gr Flatlines ELR in MT - results from field

    I'll just leave this here for you to chew on.... Just for grins, I ran JBM at a modest 3250fps MV. I'm sure you can run the 198 faster in the 300WM, but this is a good starting point. I used an elevation of 1000 feet, not knowing specifically where Centurion123 is, and it is a fair average...

    18" 1:11.25 twist .308 bullet choice

    Flatline 160g will make your 18" barreled 308 into a 1600 yard gun!

    Warner Flatline in the 338LM

    "I also find the 285 Amax still hard to beat at the edge and past where the Flatlines start opening up (if you sorted them ogive to base and weight)." Please also clarify what you are stating here. Are you stating that you are sorting the Amax or the Flatline, or both, with respect to base to...

    375-338 Lapua Imp build help

    I'm sure you will get a variety of responses here. I might suggest a 9 or an 8.5 twist if you plan to shoot the Flatline 361g on a regular basis. The 10 will work, but a little faster will be to your advantage with stability; no need to be at the minimum out of the gate. The 361g Flatline was...

    338 build suggestions

    The more uses one tries to build a rifle to suit, the more one compromises on the achievement of those uses. The chances of a multi-purpose rifle fitting the bill 100% for each specific purpose is slim to none. We see this on a regular basis. If its 'good enough' then so be it, but most cases...

    Getting into ELR

    Sounds like you need a 300 Norma.

    Flatline bullets group buy?

    We are not opposed to reviving this in the future, when more interest can be generated. This might be better received with late Fall early Winter timing when folks are starting to think about next year's supply.
