[QUOTE="Lapua guy, post: 468337, member: 28489"] I have a 26" barrel on my hunting gun, that is where my velocity or lack there of comes from in comparison to your 30". Its a light Rem 700 custom that I kept under 10 lbs unscoped. You lose about 40 FPS per inch in the Lapua, by my best calcs. I love the Improved Lapua and am jealous you have one, though it seems I can see your pics. I just can't justify using it when the LM fits my needs as a hunter. I don't do any competition at all really. I am having a 6mm AI built now, which is kinda counter to what I usually do, being I can use my precious Lapua brass unless I want to neck down 7mm Mauser cases ;). I love pushing my own limits in shooting, which I would characterize as average compared to most here. I know that. My gunsmithing skills are even worse. Good thing I have friend that can take care of that for me, and at a reasonable cost. :) [/QUOTE]
