[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 1088428, member: 43468"] Reviving this thread, i got my Lapua back from savage on friday. I sent it in as i was having problems with it and believed the barrel was at fault. Savage replaced the barrel but for some reason thought a muzzle cap would be better than a brake...:rolleyes: I coated the bore in WS2 (tungsten disulfide) and coated the 300gr Berger OTM with it. I loaded a ladder with RL33 from 96-102 grains with .004" jam. Results: 96: 2704 fps 97: 2698 fps 98: 2724 fps 99: 2738 fps 100: 2748 fps 101: 2791 fps 102: 2788 fps just started to flatten primers I realized i wouldnt be able to pressure out at this jam length because 100 grains was 100% case fill. So i then jammed them .020" in the lands and loaded 102-104 grains. Results: 102: 2828 fps 103: 2831 fps slightly heavier bolt lift, very light "half moon" ejecotr mark 104: 2876 fps much heavier bolt lift, slight ejector mark. MAX!! Once i get a brake back from savage (or i make my own) i will do some accuracy testing. At the moment i think i will try 102 grains at .020" jam. I hope to see some advantages with the use of WS2 in the long run. Take care and God bless. Riley [/QUOTE]
