My 338 LM that i just got to shoot right (it was me not the gun) is showing signs of excessive pressure with my reloads i.e. flattened primer and the bolt sticks when extracting. the load i just used is as follows: 3 times fired lapua brass, CCI large mag primers, 285gr hornady match bullets and...

i'm just about ready to sell my .338 LM, i can't get a 1/2" MOA group to save my life, and the very hard part is to admit is that it isn't the rifle it very well might be me. i have tried to tweak the loads. i started with 88-93gr's Retumbo, 300gr laupa Scenar, CCI mag primers, and lapua...

Finally i have got good results for once, @ 365 yards i was able to pull off a 1.57" 4 shot group……the only reason that it wasn't a 5 shot is cause the land owner wanted to take a shot so i figured what the hell. the loads was a 300gr Scenar set .01 off the lands, Lapua brass trimmed to 2.7"...

i have been having trouble tweaking my cartridge to be able to achieve 1/2 moa or better in my 338LM. i did my ladder test and it showed that the high node is between 89.5 through 90.5 gr of Retumbo. i started shooting groupings (4 groupings, 5 shots each with the same load for a total of 20...

so i have been doing some load testing with the 338 LM. i have noticed that once the barrel heats up after the first 3 to 4 rounds the bullet will sharply drop 1 inch at 100 yards but will stay there consistently for the following rounds. is this a typical event thats happens to you as well...

I was just curious how you guys on the hide felt about the use of crossbows in hunting, some people like them, others have told me that it isn't fair to the animals because it makes bow hunting too easy. Here's my thoughts, I don't necessarily disagree that they make things too easy however I...

i have been doing load development on my 7mm Rem Mag and i have been having trouble with finding a load that gets me a good three round group at 100. what i have noticed is that the first two shots can be placed right on top of each other but the third shot lands about 1 inch low, +/-, i believe...
