Dear guys,
In the last days I read in an Italian magazine that they are organizing some competitions at 600ys and 1000 meters. This is a nice news for Italy. You have much more experience in the USA...
So, now I have a custom rifle Tactical style, chambered in 338 Lapua Mag... I can shoot with this gun 0.5 Moa at 330ys (I never shoot more that 330ys!!) a Lapua Lock Base 250g bullet at 3150fps. I think this is a good result, but at 600-1100 yards accuracy is more important then speed.
The second choise I have is a "normal" hunting rifle chambered in the old Swedish 6.5x55 that shoot veeery well. I can shoot 0.2-0.3 Moa groups at 330ys with a Lapua 139g Scenar bullet at 2600 fps...
Now, shooting a 6.5 is sure easier then a 338, but at long distance 250g bullet will give more stability??
What do you think about?? What wuold be your choise??
Thank you all
