[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 712680, member: 7194"] That is the problem with lapua brass by the time you loosen primers you are way over pressure :) Best estimate in a 29 inch barrel I am running 230s at 3170, but it is only confirmed by drops out to 1400 yards. I just have not hassled with setting up the chronograph. yet. If there is such a thing as inherit accuracy I think this case has it. The three that I have built have all been extremely accurate and easy to load for using 210 bergers 190 bergers and 230 OTMS. Try VV 570 with some 230gr bergers. I shot an oryx a couple months ago with that combo. I am not sure which was louder the smak of the bullet hitting the oryx or the oryx hitting the ground. Only 171 yards on the oryx, damage was pretty substantial. I may break down and put a brake on mine in case anyone recoil shy wants to shoot an elk with it. I am going to be a part of eleven elk hunts later in the year. Should be a good chance to see how the bullet works at longer ranges. [/QUOTE]
