.338 Lapua improved/7mmwsm F.S

[oso]

Could you tell me what load do you have worked up for the 338Imp.? What bullet are you shooting, how fast is it, is it a repeater or single shot and finally what does it weigh with the scope?


Thanks
Oso

I can answer the repeater or single shot portion of the question: its a Lawton 7500 single shot.

I asked a similar load question in an email and here is Nathan's response:

95gr. of Reloader 25 will give you 2950FPS with 300SMK’s. E.S in the mid teens.

7mmWSM – 63.5 grs. Reloader 22 …. 180 Berger’s at 3050 FPS; E.S 12.6

Sorry guys about taking so long to reply...
James is right give me a call it's alot easier to get ahold of me that way if you need something right away.

I just put the rifle on the scale tonight. complete rifle with base, NO bipod or scope with .338 barrel weighed in at 15LBS. 4.5 OZ. I expect with the 7mm barrel it will weigh 1-1-1/2lbs. more as there is no fluting and similar contour. If it is critical I can get you exact weights with 7mm. other than that the load info above is right on.

Thanks for your patience and if anyone wants to talk to me about the rifle just give me a ring. 1-701-880-3276
