338 Lapua. What worked best in my 338 was 285 gr AMax and then ELD-Xs in front of 88 grains of H-1000. .005- .010 off the lands. Great results out to 1000 yards. Had around 2000 rds through it and the last 5 shots before I traded it made one hole a nickel would cover ( at 100 yards)

A single hot 12 guage that my grandfather ( who died before I was born) bought in 1908 for my oldest uncle ( one of 11 brothers and sisters my dad had). They lived on a farm in north Florida and my uncle was tasked with providing meat for the family with that shotgun. My dad being the youngest...

I never hunted bear with it but I shot a couple thousand rounds through a 338 Lapua (285 A-Maxs mostly) and I can’t imagine it not being enough gun for any bear anywhere. Hey that rhymes!

Uh oh! Slowing down. Only 2 more pages to hit 70! No one hates a .22! (Just making conversation)

I tried to google search the ballistics and it was all in m/ps not f/ps etc so I still have no clue how it compares to the .224 Valkyrie

Not familiar with the .220 Russian at all. Will it launch a 90 gr bullet at around 2900 fps? If so the Valkyrie doesn’t have anything on it

I read all 66 pages of this thread. My wife was driving while we were traveling for eight hours! I was really surprised at some of the calibers people are hating on. 7 mag? And the 6.5 Creedmoor I don’t believe is a bad round but I do agree with all the goofy hype being ridiculous. I do admit to...

the lease I hunt is 5 hrs away from home. This year I went for a four day hunt. Put two pair of hunting boots in the middle of the floor in my reloading room where I would have to walk around them or step over them to get to my truck. Walked around the or stepped over them probably five times...

And I have a 6.5x47 Lapua that I really like. I don’t have to wear a man bun for that do I?

Oh..and the round I hate is 6.5 Grendel. Wimpy weak turd. Turned mine into a Valkyrie and never looked back

I hated my Valkyrie when I first started working up a load for it. Nothing worked! But when I finally found a load that would shoot I really started to love it. ( for 2000+ rounds now) It has printed some very small groups at 1000 yards

The one for hunting a stand: 6.5x47 Lapua,26” heavy contour Bartlein barrel,HSPrecision stock and bottom metal, worked over Rem 700 action, silencer co Harvester. Vortex 15x60x52. Stupid accurate and an absolute hammer on game. Too heavy to walk around with. Walking rifle: Alexander Arms AR...

I have H-1000 and Re-25 I am willing to trade for H-4350. Not sure how to make this trade as I am in the Panhandle of Florida but I would really like to make it work. I’m down to a couple lbs of H-4350 and it’s my go to powder in 2 rifles

I have 400 285g A-Maxs and approximately 140 250g Lapua Scenars I would part with. $50 per box of 100 and I’ll throw in the 40 or so in the opened box of Scenars. Plus shipping

Ok so now that we have had some time to play with these for a while what have you concluded? I have shot hundreds of Amaxes in both 338 Lapua and 7mm mag out to 850 yards ( max at our range). Now I have shot hundreds of ELDs in both calibers as well. No improvement in group size. In fact I have...
