[QUOTE="Broz, post: 431202, member: 7503"] After over 1000 rounds through my rifle. A deer and an Elk taken beynd 1100 yards, one shot cold bore kills. Many palamino speed goats past 800, rocks past 1 mile. groups .5 moa at 1400 plus yards, here is what I can tell you about a 338 Lapua. $250 for 100 pcs of brass and 10 firings later they are still checking good and holding .0005" to .001" Total run out. Primers seat with the same tension still in each case and feels the same. So I hardly think you can call this brass high priced. MV with 300 gr bullets @ 2800 with out pushing it. This is with 92.5 gr of H-1000 on the above discribed brass from a 27 1/2" Lilja Off the shelf dies. Buy Reding "S" type bushing dies and learn to use them correctly and your Lapua brass will give you very straight ammo. NO fireforming or expanding cases that may produce huge runout for the first firing. None... Load em. Take your Lapua brass out of the box and load it if you want. It is that good! Off the shelf reamer that is standard and will shoot factory ammo too with good accuracy. Barrel life that will not go away just when you have your rifle all set up, dialed in and your confinence level good. 1000 plus rounds and still shooting .5 moa. What more could one want in a , practical, affordable ,338? Thats my 2 cents. Jeff gun)gun) [/QUOTE]
