I guess I got lucky... Loaded up on Ramshot LRT before it was on folks radar and found Fed 215M match primers for what I though was a not bad price (54.95/1000) so I grabbed 5K. Told some friends and was informed that was "Gouging!" I don't consider $0.01/primer (I think? I got into the...

I have a MagnetoSpeed V3 and it works very well but I do wonder about hanging things off my barrel. As such instead of springing for one the the ARCA / Pic rail bayonet mounting rod set-ups I'll will just be putting that money into a LabRadar set up in the near future.

So I did some velocity testing today. Sans suppressor every thing fell into line for the most part. Only a 5 shot string but the results are as follows... #1 2743 FPS #2 2737 FPS #3 2749 FPS #4 2743 FPS #5 2749 FPS SD of 17 and an SD of 6.4 (not great but I think I fell off the node a bit). All...

IKR? LOL!

"Suppressor" versus "Silencer" There different so they're you go! Wurds are hard! :D

30" barrel .338LM... 94.7gr of RL33 behind a 300gr SMK nets me 2805 FPS.

A little tip... When you are drawing the outline of the rifle and accessories pull the foam out, flip it over and reverse everything top to bottom (does that make sense?). That way if you have any stray lines you won't see them when you are finished and have the rifle installed in the case...

For solid foam the go to is a electric fillet knife. For pick n' pluck the trick is that after you get your rifle and accessoies arranged and the foam plucked go over everything with Plasti-dip. This glues all the remaining cubes together so that they don't pull apart and adds a rubberized coat...

At 50” the Plano field locker double gun should work! Inside dimensions are 54.0 x 15.0 x 6.4. At 52.375” the Plano should work but It will be close. B&H Photo carries the Explorer line here in the states and offered free shipping, as well as the best price I could find, when I purchased mine.

Love my .338LM so not pointless to me. Is it the best? Don't know but I like the oomph that that 300gr bullet offers!

Give Salidas Gun Shop in CO a call. They hooked me up with an 8lb Keg of RL33 a few weeks ago. Keep in mind they are little guys so HazMat is rough but if you need it I think they can help! (719) 207-4285 As for H-1000 (and all the other slow powders... Maybe) I think we're all screwed on that...

I've done the same. Works great where ports aren't involved :)

Put a zip lock bag over the brake, slide the brake into a corner of the bag, pull it tight (not super tight. Don't want to tear the bag) and secure it. I picked up a sleeve of the hair thingies (You know... the elastic ones that ladies use for putting their hair up in pony tales) and use two or...

So the $64000 dollar question is... How long is your rifle overall? I have the Plano Double Gun for my MSR-10 Long Range and it is fantastic! Grabbed another for my 110 EP and is was way short! That rifle set-up for me is just shy of 57" long with the brake attached. I only had two options...

That is an interesting possibility! I hadn’t thought about first round pop and velocity being connected in someway. I must research this! Thank you very much, sir!
