[QUOTE="Don A Parsons, post: 1634727, member: 97414"] Yes and No. Ha The Lazzeroni in 338 is very consistant,,, much like other cartridges,,, there's something about those heavy boolitz that seem to stay consistant... I'm probably wrong as normal since I like to fiddle around with different grains of boolitz in the smaller cases... What I've noticed over the years let's say... When I shoot 165/68's the over all ft-per seconds between 10 shots is ruffly 35 ft-per seconds,,, this over all spread becomes less when I get into the 175/180 gr leads,,, 20 to 25 ft-per seconds... It shrinks even more when I run the 200/08 gr boolitz,,, 15 to 20 ft-per seconds... Purhaps it has something to do with the weight of the boolitz to powder charge... Again,,, this is only my guess on what I see on the magospeed,,, I seen the same results from my magnum days,,, 300,,, 338,,, 375,,, I'm sure that this applies to small calibers that can all so shoot there maximum lead to... The big chunks of lead if a shooter can handle the recoil,,, Heavy rifle fore sure,""" seems to get things out there with some nice consistanty,,, lots of retained energy on top of that... The 285 VDL's are still packing about 2400 ish ft-lbs energy at the 1000 yard mark,,, the nice thing about this is the door way is still open past that 1000 yard mark incase a critter is beyond those reaches. LOL... Like I said,,, way beyond my shooting skills. Ha... [URL]http://www.lazzeroni.com/ct_lacart.htm[/URL] My friend has had great success with this cartridge since he's harvested 2 Provincial record book Elk with it... Its not a go to pack rifle,,, but it sure makes up for its weight in accuracy... We've been shooting it for fun at 1700 metres on a 16" gong... The smaller cartridges can tag the gong as well,,, but I'll admit that the heavy gr boolitz tag it with authority... LOL... Its one of those cartrages that gives the operator the feeling of pure power... This imbraces the consistency thing I guess... About 100 MOA for the 1700 mark... It stays very constant with this dial up every time we take it out... What a fantastic shooter.
