    Results with 300gr 338 Accubond

    I have been travelling for 3 weeks and may have missed some posts, but has anyone been working with the new 300gr 338 accubond in a Lapua Mag? Mine loves both 300ge SMK's and 300gr Scenars (both around 1/2 MOA with H100) and I am thinking about going to the Accubond for hunting elk this fall...

    Does anyone have a source of 50 cal bullets, either jacketed or solids, in weights heavier than 750gr? I am looking for something north of 900gr if such a thing exists. Thanks,

    Subsonic 50 cal load

    Can anyone recommend a program that can give a starting load of H1000, Retumbo or 50BMG powders that will yield approx 1050fps loads out of a 750gr 50 cal projectile in a 26" barrel? I am considering a new project and wanted to get some idea of required case capacity and don't know where to...

    Closest long range shooting areas near So Cal

    I am working in Orange County Cal (Brea) and am wondering if anyone can recommend a place heading toward the desert where I can shoot my .375 Chey Tac and 338 Lapua. Hopefully there are some places that are nott too far out east. Even 200 to 300 would be OK but hopefully someone knows a spot...

    Range Report 338 LM Chronograph Readings

    Did some load development with my Savage 110 in 338 LM in the desert North of Vegas yesterday and am pretty sure my chronograph is not calibrated correctly. I ran through a series of loads using Retumbo and Reloader 22 with 250gr SMK's. All charges were in groups of 3 with all recordings made...

    338 LM 250 SMK Load Results

    Started some initial testing on my Savage 110 HS in 338 LM. Started at 88gr of Retumbo with 250 gr SMK's doing my barrel break in for about 25 rounds. Started with 3 shot groups vs ladder testing just to get some trigger time, the Accutrigger is a little different but seems like a good system...

    Method for determining OAL

    I do not have any sophisticated equipment for determining how to load a round a set distance off the lands. The method I have used is to size a case mouth to have a snug slip fit on the projectile, set the round well beyond expected OAL and chamber the round. I will do this several times to get...

    Range Report Handheld Ballistics Calculator

    Who makes a reasonably priced handheld ballistics calculator to do the math for long range shot? I know there are Droid and iphone downloads but I think I would rather have a dedicated unit. Thanks,

    375 Chey Tac Neck Sizing

    Does anyone know where I can pick up a neck sizing dies for my .375 CT? I am full length re-sizing and would like to try neck sizing only to try to improve my groups. The fired rounds re-chamber so I may get by with neck sizing.

    338 Lapua Retumbo loads

    I have a lot of Retumbo powder for my 375 Chey Tac and am about to start load development on a 338 LM Savage I just picked up with a 1:9 twist. I would like to hear about specific experiences and load testing with Retumbo in this caliber and if there was a consensus (thats usually hard to find...

    .375 Chey Tac Powder Options

    I have a .375 CT improved with a significant case capacity increase and I am looking for some powder options. I am currently using Retumbo but even with 140 gr I have a lot of reserve capacity and would be interested to try a slower burning powder that would come closer to a 90%+ capacity load...

    Rifle Scopes Scope caps for 5.5 X 22 X 56 NXS

    I went back several pages and didn't see anything specific so at the risk of being the 900th guy to ask............. Anyone have a recommendation for the best flip scope caps for the above referenced scope? Rather have something good than cheap.

    Bipod recommendations

    Does anyone have an opinion on what they consider to be the best bipod for a heavy (.375 Chey Tac class) rifle? Harris seems the most popular but if someone knows of another slick option I am all ears. Since we are talking about guns that weigh at or near 20# it would seem spending a bunch of...
