    Here’s my best 5 shot group my first time out to 1000 yards. I had the pleasure of doing this at peacekeeper in West VA which is an awesome venue for long range shooting. It was a perfect day with very little wind. I loved their electronic targets they are super cool. Anyone that hasn’t been...

    Hearing protection

    Thanks i just ordered these from amazon. I've read some positive reviews about them. And at $15 its not a big deal if they don't work out for my ears. I got the one that has a filter plug to allow sounds and conversations to be heard if needed.

    Getting started reloading

    I was in your shows a few years ago. Best advice I can give you is read, read and read some more before you start. It will save you a lot of cash and headaches. Also it would help tremendously if you can connect with someone locally that has reloaded and knows what they are doing. You can scare...

    I've only been out once and it wasn't the best place.. Unfortunately in my neck of the woods the majority of our shootings is off the bench which makes it a little harder with recoil management. It didn't help that the bench at my 100 yard range are made out of wood and very shity. Furture...

    I had a ton of room even at 3.716. I think this one of the big advantages to the AX mags.

    What can i say its worth every cent :) This is my first 338 so you can probably imagine I had no recoil management my first outing. With that said if you can control the recoil this rifle has no problem shooting in the same hole time after time. It will make a novice shooter like myself look...

    I just bought the same rifle and asked the safe question last week. I got one reply so either people didn't like the way i asked or not many people own this rifle. Here's what i'm working with myself. Powder -Retumbo Primer - Federal 215 and CCI 250 Bullets - Lapua 300 gr Sierra...

    Anyone using Hornady Case Prep Trio?

    It does heat up but no to the point you can't hold it.

    Anyone using Hornady Case Prep Trio?

    I use it and its ok. There isn't enough grip on the bottom where it doesn't slide all over the place. You have to hold it steady with one hand while you prep the case. That's really the only thing that brothers me about it. I'm looking to get something more like the RCBS where you push down.

    .338 Lapua and 300 grain ers with Reloader 33

    So whats the best H1000 or Retumbo for 300gn bullets? Sounds like N570 cons out way the pros. In my neck of the woods it’s very hard to get powder. I want to pull the trigger on 8lbs of either N1000 or Retumbo. For target shooting what’s the best for 1000+ yards? Thx!!
