[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 632624, member: 5302"] From a retired US Navy Officer and SEAL close to sniper rifle and marksmanship issues: [I]When the Precision Sniper Rifle (PSR) program compared the AI 338 LM/300 gr Lapua with the Long throat 300 WM/190 & 220 MK (Army, Navy and Marine snipers, including a couple of Palma shooters ) the 300 WM outperformed the 338 Lapua at 1000, 1200, and 1500 yards. The Long throat 300 WM/ 190 MK @ 3100 FPS was the most accurate at 1000 and 1200 yards. The 300 WM/ 220 MK was the most accurate load at 1500 yards, however none of the participants could meet the one MOA PSR requirement. The shooters were unable to keep five shots on the 6'X6' targets in a 5-20 knot gusting wind except with the 300 WM.
