[QUOTE="NZ Longranger, post: 845611, member: 14"] Kirby that's pretty impressive shooting at over a mile! Still hard to beat the big 338's for the real stretch out work. We're just back from a hunting trip in our Southern Alps shooting Tahr (The Himalayan version of your Rocky Mountain Goat, but with bigger horns) out to over 1400 yards with our 338 Lunatics (a chambering inspired by your 338 AM of course!). We had a play with some of our smaller 338's and 7mm's but at 1000 yards plus the biggest 338's are our go to's! And you'll love RL33. It produces more velocity for the same pressure across our test gear than N570. We just finished a bunch of testing in our 338 FX (max capacity Lapua improved), and it not only produced great velocity, but superb accuracy as well. OBP716 produces the most velocity in these 120 odd grain capacity cases, but RL33 is more consistent and accurate. But it certainly isn't the powder for the AM/Lunatic. That's H50BMG, 20N29 or the right burning rate batch of US869 territory for sure. Greg Ps This pic is of a nanny (female) shot for meat. Kevin shot it at 1205 yards on a 32 degree angle from the riverbed with my 338 Lunatic, but then muggins me had to climb all the way up to retrieve it, and I never even got in the photo! Darn thing got caught up and never rolled down. The bulls are far more impressive with a big mane and bigger horns, but don't want to hijack your thread with any more pics! [/QUOTE]
