    My 2013 black bear

    Shot this guy with my Rbros 338 Lapua mag with a 300 grain MK over top of a 100 grain load of 876. It was a 230 yard down hill raking shot that took him behind the ribs on his left side and stopped in the ribs under his right shoulder. Missed all the guts and took out lungs and the top of his...

    Need Advice on either 338 RUM or Lapua cartridge to get in a rifle?

    I've owned and shot ~1500 rounds or so out of my 338 RUM. I now have a 338 Lapua with ~500 rounds down the tube. There isn't a nickles worth of difference between the 338 RUM, 338 Edge or the 338 Lapua in like setups. Some might tout more velocity, or accuracy from one or the other. The...

    Best caliber for long range in a short action.

    I'm kinda partial to the 6.5x47Lapua. TMR built one for my daughter and one for me. Very accurate rifles and will do all you are asking for. BUT it is a re loader's round as factory ammo is spendy at best.

    R BROS build

    Yup, they build a great rifle and have done right by me and my daughter. I have 2 myself plus the one Shayla has sitting in the safes. There's nothing like watching my daughter shoot her pink rifle at 1245 yards and put up a sub moa 5 shot group.

    Accurate rifles suck at 1073 yards

    Went out to shoot the first rounds in over a week, which for me is about 7 days longer than normal. Took my Rbros built 338 Lapua with some 300 grain MK's over 100.5 grains of WC872. Drove 20 minutes up into the hills above the house. Found a canyon and ranged a .7mil wide x.5mil tall rock at...
