    338 Lapua brass cycles?

    Re: 338 Lapua brass cycles? Chris: Melesia at Berger just confirmed she would be sending 200 bullets = 4 boxes of 50 of the 250g Hybrids to me. She said the confusion arose form the fact that MOST berger bullets apparently come in boxes of 100. The test Bergers were the first Bergers I had...

    338 Lapua brass cycles?

    Re: 338 Lapua brass cycles? I too politely quoted Michelle's original posting, and noted that it would take FOUR boxes to make 200 of these bullets, since they come 50 to a box. Jim G

    338 Lapua brass cycles?

    Re: 338 Lapua brass cycles? I agree that .008" growth in case during firing is excessive. Howeverm, as for bullet jump, it looks like ALL the .338 Lapua Magnum rifles, whether Savage, AI, or TRG, have very long "jump" if you load to mag dimensions, which of coruse is what the rifle...

    Re: LMT MWSE bolt & bolt carrier deposits That CRT-25 tools at Brownell's seems like a good fast safe method. A little expensive ($50 plus shippnig for the AR-25 version), but looks like it woul work well. Jim G

    Re: GDI Scope Mount 25 MOA or 0 MOA?? You should email or call the manufacturer if their literature that comes with the product does not incldue the troque specs. It normally should. For what it's worth, 2 different ring sets that I have mounted in the past had included torque specs for...

    Advanced Marksmanship Feedback on my shooting position, please?

    Re: Feedback on my shooting position, please? The bipod is not tightened down too much. It enables fairly easy tilt with just enough friction that it holds its position without requiring lots of attention. Forward pressure is enough to take out the slack, and not much more. Even with the...

    Re: Feedback on my shooting position, please? I just played Frank's video (Panera has GOOD wi-fi!). Nice. He does a good job of explaining why the forward "aggressive" posture is needed. Jim G

    LMT MWSE bolt & bolt carrier deposits

    I find my LMT MWSE components reasonably easy to clean, except for 2 places on the bolt and on the bolt carrier. You can see the black carbon-like deposits on the "tulip-shaped" surface of the rear of the bolt, right near the rings, and also at the bottom of the deep recess in the bolt carrier...

    Advanced Marksmanship Feedback on my shooting position, please?

    I got a friend to take some photos of me shooting the other day, as I wanted to get some feedback here on whether or not I am positioned correctly for best results: I was wondering, for example, if my upper body is rotated clockwise too much, or whether this degree of wrap...

    LMT .308 MWS

    Re: LMT .308 MWS It takes longer to learn to shoot a semi auto than a bolt rifle - at least that has been my experience so far. I shoot my TRG 338 Lapua a bit better than I do my LMT MWSE. But, today, there was an important development that may indicate that is about to change. I was...
