For my 338 LM I have run Lapua, Nosler and tried some Hornady. Nosler lasted 2 firings but I had annealed with torch so there’s that. I switched to Lapua brass and bought Amp Mk 2 and haven’t looked back. 5th firing on each of my 2 loads and have only lost 2 cases to Aztec cycle on my AMP.

I run the 270’s on top of RL26 right at 2915 in my 338 LM. 27” Lilja 1-10 barrel. Very accurate and hammers animals. Like all of the ELDx line, don’t shoot the parts ya wanna eat. I shoot 300gr Bergers in my other Lapua. I have a lot of confidence in both guns on big animals at distance.

257 Roberts Imp with a 1-7 or 1-8 barrel.

Berger 250 Elite Hunters, Hornady 270gr ELD-x is what I’ve used in that weight with very good success. Still shoot the 270’s in one gun but switched to 300 Berger Elite hunters in other gun

Supply and demand. Simple as that. You guys don’t know what they paid for do you? I know for a fact powder prices have gone up for retailers as well as haz mat to get it delivered. Guess you guys haven’t noticed used pick up prices or new pick up prices lately. Everything has gone up...

Any update on this BigEclipse?

Garbage info in garbage results out. If you have tried multiple ballistic calculators and keep getting bad results then it is the info going in. Frustrating for sure. Good luck

I’m shooting the 210’s out of a 300 rum. My coal is 3.77 and I’m 0.70 off lands. I tried em 0.1, 0.15, 0.25 etc off and they didn’t group like I expected. Backed em off and around 0.65 they got a bit better and at 0.70 off was the ticket. I agree, they take a bit to get to shoot. Good luck

Does/is the 8k compatible with Base Maps as well?

I had a MBM Beast brake on my 338LM and really liked it, excellent recoil reduction. Swapped it out for a self timed Terminator TA. Accuracy was consistent between the 2 and poi shift was minimal. The Beast weighs less than the Terminator but the Terminator balanced the gun a bit better. Both...

I’ve got an older M77 257 Roberts that shot horribly. Figured out it was a long throated sumbuck and started seating bullets out. Way out. 3.06 oal with Sierra 110 TGK and 43gr of H4350 and voila! Under an inch at 100. My gun also hates the 100gr Partitions, hope to try the 120s when they become...

I like Lilja and McGowan for my 6.5-284. They have been easy to tune with the 156 Bergers and RL26. I have a SS Lilja along with a Chrome Moly Lilja and a Chrome Moly McGowan. The CM barrels have held up well, no complaints, and shoot well. Plus both companies are from my home state so that’s a...

257 Roberts Imp with a fast twist barrel

No, lost all of my guns in a burglary when I was out of town. Bastards stole all the ammo plus all of my reloading supplies too. Darnedest thing. Just shooting my bow now and an old daisy BB gun.
