[QUOTE="bedrok, post: 628734, member: 25202"] I've been thinking about getting a .338 Lapua, probably a Sako TRG, and have been reading about the "inherent long range accuracy"of the cartridge. I've known of .340 WBYs, which have very similar ext. ballistics to the Lapua, to shoot .5 moa. It seems if a bullet shoots accurately at 100 yds, it will shoot accurately at any range, regardless of the case it came out of. In other words, there's no such thing as long range accuracy, just accuracy period. Am I missing something? I'm asking because I can build something a lot cheaper, like the Mark 5 with a 26" Douglas premium tube in .340 WBY that my buddy had years ago that shot .5 moa all day with 250 gr Sierra bts. I've never been a fan of WBY actions but it seems worth considering. [/QUOTE]
