    Lapua 308 brass weight distribution (pic)

    I just picked up 400 new Lapua 308 cases and decided to kill some time. I sorted them on my digital scale that measures to .0001 grams. I sorted them in .002 gram increments. The lightest weight starting in the top right of the pic and going left, then from bottom right to the left, ending...

    4831sc for .338 lapua

    I have some 4831sc on hand. How well would this work for a .338 Lapua? I know where I can get some Ramshot Magnum. Would this be a better powder? You can see how they compare here Burn Chart

    Lapua 7mm 170gn Lockbases

    Has anybody used Lapua 7mm 170 gn lockbases? Any idea of the BC? And how did they perform? No info anywhere on these--I believe they are no longer made, and Lapua does not respond to emails. TIA.

    Max velocities with Lapua Scenar 6mm 105gr?

    I'm thinking of loading up some 6mm Lapua Scenar 105 grain bullets for 243 Win and am wondering what sort of max velocities you've been seeing on your loads? With DTAC 115gr being somewhat scarce, the 105gr Scenar looks like an interesting fallback.

    .338 Lapua

    I have been reloading .308 for a while and am now getting ready to load for a new .338 Lapua I just bought. I want to have the furthest effective range (supersonic) I can get. I have a 25.5 inch barrel on a Lawton action. What powders work well in this cartridge and what is the best bullet...

    338 Lapua Mag Ammo

    I just saw this ammo on Sportsman's Guide website and thought I would pass it along. I don't know what 338 Lapua goes for so I don't know if it's a good buy or not. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/lapua-338-lap-mag-250-gr-hpbt-10-rds.aspx?a=548697&pn=1...

    Barrel Length vs. range on 338 Lapua

    I am getting ready to build and was thinking of a 27-29 inch tube since that seems to be the standard length for this caliber. I am looking at one right now that has a 25" barrel. How much range am I giving up with a 25" barrel? Thanks

    Lapua shorted me

    I made the two hour drive to Cabelas in Rapid City last weekend and was lucky enough to find 2 boxes of Lapua 308 brass. So today I started getting it ready to load and found out I was shorted 3 cases out of one box. And of course I'm one of those guys that has to have all my brass, bullet, and...

    338 Lapua on (non-supreme) rock chucker possible?

    Hi, I have a standard RCBS old school rock chucker that I got on loan. It is not the 'supreme' one with the taller opening. Is it possible to load 338LM on this (it looks like it will be tight, but might work) .....or not [?] Love to hear if anyone has successfully done so, or already...

    .338 Lapua over .300 WM?

    I have trying to figure out what caliber to build a 1500 plus rifle in. In looking at the drop tables from Later's site it looks like the .338 Lapua table only has 40 inches less drop at 2K when compared to a .300 win mag. Am I missing something? Are those two rounds really that close in...

    Newest build - 6.5x47mm Lapua

    This is only my second precision rifle, and after cutting my teeth on a 7mmRM, I'm very happy about reducing charge weight and recoil! The 6.5x47mm Lapua seemed to look the best on paper to me. I took part in Jerry's last group buy for the Stiller TAC30 action and added the following; - 24 x...

    Using Ramshot Hunter in the 338 Lapua Y/N?

    Playing around with some lighter bullets, the 225 Accubond to be specific, in my 338 Lapua. I did a bit of research and am now starting to try Hunter under the 225 AB. I started at 87 grains and worked up to 93 so far. Very easy extraction but just a hint of an ejector mark at 93. Anybody else...

    338 Lapua dies

    I am looking to buy some dies for my 338 Lapua. Just wondering what is been used and any suggestions as to what the best dies might be. I am reloading for target shooting. Are the dies with interchangeable bushings worth the money? Cheers Lachlan

    .338 Lapua build finally coming together.

    Got my AICS chassis in from Mile High yesterday (thanks Diane And Randy). Got the barreled action mountee last night and the Premier 3-15 x 50 is on it's way. After a few months of patient waiting the time for break in is almost here. Will post some pics tonight.

    .338 Lapua Molds?

    I'm looking for the .338 Lapua mold, or more making sure that they exist. I'm getting together the parts to build a the M40 sniper and apparently they change the bullet to this Lapua fromt he .308. If there is a mold for this bullet, then I was going to do the same. If not, however, I was going...

    Range estimation error .338 Lapua vs. .375 Chey

    I know that the flatter a cartridge shoots the more room for range estimation error you have without it killing you. (think .223 vs .44 mag at 200 yards) I know that you still try to range as precisely as you can. But, how much additional "fudge factor" do you get with a .375 over a .338 at...
