I'll give it a try. My phone is android by the way.

Is anyone using app on their phone to measure distances. I have a range finder but getting out to 1 mile and beyond is way out of its range. What apps are you guys using? Anything worth trying?

I'm wanting something on the "hot" side of 30 caliber or 7mm. I like shooting long range 1000 and beyond. I have access to out to almost 3000 yards so I like to test limits of different things. I have a 30 cal suppressor on the way and I want somthing where I can use it.

That's what I was afraid of. Is there any measurable pressures or stats that I could look up to know if I would be putting too much strain on my supressor? Could I build a 300 Lapua off of a regular savage long action or would I have to have a special action rated for the pressure of the...

What are the pros and cons when looking at 300 Lapua (338 Lapua necked down to 30 caliber. And 7mm-300WM "7mm practical" (300WM necked down to 7mm) Trying to decide on a caliber for a new build. A few things to consider - I will want to shoot this caliber suppressed. I have a suppressor that...

What charge are you using to get those to 2800fps

Sounds like a good way to test out some bergers. Of all the bullets I do like the bergers the best just from looking at them.

Appriciate the advice! I sure wish I could find some h1000 but doesn't look like it's going to happen. What is the optimal bullet weight for the lapua? I've read that if you want to shoot the extended range the 300 grain bullet really shine. Would a Sierra matchking be a acceptible hunting bullet?

Here are the options I have to begin load development for my new to me Savage 111 Long Range Hunter in 338 Lapua, Vortex 6-24x50 ffp. My use for this gun will be long range steel shooting for fun and long range hunting on larger game no bigger than elk These are available: Primers: Federal...

That's a slick looking gun! That's what I'm going for is something along those lines. I contacted savages custom shop last night to see what it would cost to have a gun built. Anybody ever ordered a custom through them?

My plan was to shoot the heavier vld type bullets. Like I said this will not be a hunting rifle but a hard hitting steel shooter. Now what about the bolt? What size bolt face does the 300 wsm have?

Tank I appriciate the advise and that's what I'm starting to consider doing the only problem is I live in a place where guns, especially used ones, are hard to come by. I think I could do the barrel swap but don't have all the tools. I've been thinking about doing a 300 WSM. Do I have to have a...

Agreed! At first I didn't like the look of the HS stock but it's starting to grow on me. What's it usually cost to have a smith install a break? Also does the HS stock need bedded or is it pretty good without?
