    338 lapua/300 gr bullets/2800 fps minimum?

    Hi longrangehunterII Regarding the elevation, after corresponding with a few members here and on other forums, we are slowly figuring out a couple of ways to check things out a better way. Next time at the range, we will check the tracking on both of our scopes and we will re-check the speed of...

    338 lapua/300 gr bullets/2800 fps minimum?

    Hi Alaska I tried RL33 and Ramshot Magnum as well, they are both good powders and will get the job well done; I just went with H1000. Love the way Ramshot measures in my chargemaster. I saw your post with the 91 gr of H1000 and Berger 300; OTM or Match Grade Elite? How far were you shooting...

    338 lapua/300 gr bullets/2800 fps minimum?

    Hi Orch I am no expert, so learning as it goes and you mention several aspects we didn't think of lightbulb. The neck tension difference came to my mind, as I made two different kind of reloads. One was made using my Redding FL serie "S" with a bushing giving a .362 at the neck. It should be...

    338 lapua/300 gr bullets/2800 fps minimum?

    I did try several but at 100 yards; distances sometimes makes a big difference but so far, so good. Thanks. Follow up on load Went to range today, 1000 yards ; cool and sunny, no wind, 50% humidity. Loads were still accurate at 1000 (less than MOA); will shoot around 1300 next time.

    Hi, Working on load development on TRG42/338 lapua mag with H1000 (89 gr), Berger OTM 300. As of now, good results up to 400 yards but didn't stretch it yet; MV is 2680 fps, very little SD. On the subject, I know a little, there is a lot more I do not know. I keep on hearing bullets (300...

    Legally, are the 175 SMK BTHP considered as FMJ?

    You are a wise man and this is exactly what I did :) Talked to a Game Warden in Reno and got answers; yes 175 SMK are legal for hunting in NV. I had another question for him, regarding magazine max capacity for big game, as I heard 5 shots were max. Warden's answer: no restriction on magazine...

    Legally, are the 175 SMK BTHP considered as FMJ?

    It is all in the title. From a legal standpoint, are the 175 SMK BTHP considered as FMJ, which makes them illegal to hunt with in NV?

    Attempting 1 Mile With Mosin-Nagant Vid

    Mathews Thanks, I tried, will do it again but first will check out reloads fps, I think it is mild, around 2400; didn't have a chronograph when i first made these loads. Probably can give it a boost of another 300 fps, it may help some:)
