We live in the Phx outlining areas by the way

My buddies dad runs a mine outside of Florence so we can shoot out to 1600 (mostly at rocks as I dont want to carry steel that far) it’s a working mine so weekends are the only free days but it’s gated and we are all alone. You??

Thanks. I sent you a message prior to reading this Much appreciated

Do you have any info regarding unit 43?? Thanks much

Looking as a family to hunt antelope in unit 43 this September. Not looking for “honey holes” but looking for some advice or some landowners who would allow us to hunt (and respect) within his or her property. We would be willing to pay (within reason) for access. Much appreciated for and help !!

Can’t say enough great things about my APA little bastard brake. It on my 338 Lapua, and tames hot loads shooting 300grainers down to less than a 30.06. Give them a gander, work great, and look amazing also !!

Stiller action, custom barrel (Bartlien IMHO), quality stock to your specs, Timney trigger, choose your brake, PTG bottom metal and Accuracy international magazines. Save literally 2000$ piecing it together then have a quality smith assemble it Make it the way YOU want it; and look the way YOU...

26-27 should get you most of what your looking for I shoot a 24” that yields 3040fps with 168gr Berger VLD’s and Retumbo...... could easily go hotter but the accuracy node dictated my stopping point

My group at 200 yds with my all time favorite load!! This is from a basic Savage 7mm LRH. Have yet to find a rifle this load didn’t shoot great with! Wait for it .... Base to ogive 3.745 (.015 0ff the lands) 168gr berger vld Winchester brass Winchester magnum primer Retumbo-69.3gr Fps...

My custom has a 1-9.4 Bartlein.... it’s gojng to be cutting it close as the 300gr bullets require a 1-10 If not then I’m confident the 300’s will still stay supersonic further than I can hunt animals at; and shelves will be plenty stocked with them as the rush for the new bullets take off

Both are great it’s just personal preference,,, the Lapua will stay supersonic forther down range (especially with the 285-300gr bullets) however costs rise and weight of a rifle could be an issue. I own a Lapua and love it but it’s not for everyone. Have you considered a .28 Nosler ????

Thanks for all the replies!! Per Berger Manual it’s near the max However according to Hodges it’s about 4.5 gr below max. Using the hybrid OTM’s also

Bump Looking for some advice before the next outing

I have a custom 338 Lapua I hunt with quite often. It’s heavy (16lbs) but that’s why I train hard and love having the ability to kill at long range. We took a Coues buck this year with it at 940yds. We backpacked deep in, and absolutely I hauled it over hill and dale. Use what you feel most...
