[QUOTE="Faina338, post: 378391, member: 10408"] 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 Faina [/QUOTE]
