    338 Subsonic with Trail Boss

    Cor-bon makes some subsonics for the 338LM as well.......a little over $100 for a box of 20! I use around 20gr of TB at 980'/s with 300smk's which gives a little over 1.5moa out past 300yds, it is very quiet. The bergers will keyhole 20% of the time; they don't go through the Titan-qd. Start...

    One rifle and only one rifle

    M-1A........If you know ahead of time you only get one rifle but have no idea what the road ahead looks like. Any good 7.62mm with a box magazine for that matter. Good legs but still does a good job close quarters, though over penetration is a problem.

    50 cal accuracy issues

    I'll take the bet ;) With the exception of SASR high accuracy ammo, 50BMG loadings are only spec'd to 2.4MOA, which is a shotgun on this cloverleaf grouping forum. Even the cheap ball stuff has a soft steel core, when we start loading lathe turned hardened cores with incendiary mixes (or...

    50 cal accuracy issues

    Don't give up on it. My guess: scope mounts coming loose; or there was some scope damage noticed on the box... how many rings are you using? Are they lapped and seated with the purple locktite? If you are shooting factory ammo most of it is great for busting big rocks but leaves much to be...

    Sako vs. DTA vs. AI 338, advice appreciated.

    I went with the TRG42 and never looked back......took the savings and bought an NXS 5X22 scope and Titan can. Couldn't be happier, consistently smacks the 30" gong we have set up at 1600m with me pulling the trigger, couple others have done better with it and it still makes me happy. Easily...

    Anybody ever order a LH twist bbl to take advantage of this? If so, could you tell the difference and who put the stick together. thanks, cd

    Trackingpoint firearms are pretty dumb!!

    Bet we see a bunch of similar equipment in the very near future.....only better. Drones in the air employing lethal force; drones on the ground is the next step. A run of the mill surveillance system turns into an autonomous recon/sniper system with oversight occurring anyplace a data link can...

    Sell me on your favorite caliber > 338

    50BMG all the way as long as you don't mind the weight of the launch platform. Components are still very inexpensive......as in the 35 cent primer is the most expensive part. When the surplus/de-milled stuff dries up this will not be the case. It's a proven round with lots of payload options...

    50 BMG reloading

    Increase the charge a bit.......usually push them in the 2750-2800 range. Weigh the brass and the bullets; mine also get annealed.

    Suppressors Titanium suppressor. Which one to get

    Currently using an AAC Titan-qd on everything from 338lm to 22-250. It works great on all of them; biggest poi shift is 2moa while lowest is 1moa. Too hot to handle after 5 338 shots, never really gets warm with the smaller stuff. On the bad side..........those qd mounts are WAY over-priced...

    50 WSM sizing die?

    I bet those hardened steel penetrators bounce around like a superball at those speeds.

    Critique my annealing..

    Looks like new Lapua brass. How long have you been doing them like this and how does the brass hold up.....number of reloads? That is what really matters; also tells the real story.

    LR Accubond

    Anybody give these a try? The .308 stuff advertises 190gr with a bc of .640 while the 210gr sports 0.730! Sounds like the perfect bullet for a 30 magnum.

    semi vs bolt

    Welcome aboard! Basically: when you add more moving parts than needed for launch the greater chance for error/inaccuracy. KISS principal applies. You may get lucky where all the compounding errors cancel each other out or unlucky where they add up and make a large MOA shooter. I have yet to...

    300 win mag barrel conundrum.

    I always practice with hearing protection but when it comes down to hunting it usually gets left out of the cross check...........talk to many of the vets coming back from the field. The ringing ears is just part of the culture and how they got r done.

    Fed up with stuck cases

    The best advice for using OS so far is "don't be cheap with it." It's not as fool-proof as some of the others but it does work and it's quick.

    Which concentricity gauge?

    NECO; it will measure just about anything you want and does it very well......if you're a FCSA member they give you a 20% discount to boot.
