[QUOTE="Faina338, post: 378417, member: 10408"] Hi Lou, you're right, I forgot to write some details... My 6.5 rifle is a customized Sabatti Rover 870 (an Italian brand), with 22" Shilen barrel. I test many load for this caliber and find the best accuracy with Lapua Scenar 139g bullets pushed by Norma 204 powder. The 338 Lapua is a custom made Farè T1000 with Farè action and 27 1/2" Shilen barrel with brake... Recoil is not far from a normal 308. In this competions are accepted all caliber and rifle, the only limitation is the weight: 30lbs. Each round I need to shoot 10 shots, prone position. You talk from testing, that's right!! The only big problem is that in Italy there is only one shooting range at 600y and this is at 10 hours drive away!!! This is the reason why 600-1000y shooting is here a news. My 338 is ready to use why it have a Leupold Mark 4 M1 16x scope, on my 6.5 now I have a 6x42 hunting scope and if I decide to use this rifle I need to change the scope. [/QUOTE]
