Seems reasonable. Probably takes 198 yards to shed the jacket and have the afterburners kick in for stabilization to 1 mile.
I forgot about afterburners
only the magical Enfield sniper rifles do that. I heard on the interwebz that you get 4" groups at 100, but by the time they get to 1000, it's all holes touching.

That is only with Hornady Superformance.
Tell him that is because after 198 yards of flight, the bullet begins to accelerate... And that is the reason why .338 LM is so expensive.
Kind of like the shit I heard one gun store salesman tell a prospective handgun purchaser one time: "This is a .45 ACP. You know what the ACP mean? It means that it will blast the enemy clean off his feet and slam him into the ground like a cannon shell..."
That only happens with recoil sensitive people, shooting 223 a larger. Know a guy, who knows a girl, that had a brother, who knew this old man, whose son, had that happen all the time. Wonder if it's the same guy?
Thats the effect of the Hornady AMAX tip melting.
Once the plastic turns into plasma the bullet becomes a stabilized, lava carrying, incendiary sniper round.
Only downside is that if used on living targets the plasma cauterizes the wound channel as it passes through and nothing dies from .338 LM hits.

Hey, the salesman was telling the truth about that one. Assuming the enemies in question were cockroaches or spiders. Or chihuahuas.Tell him that is because after 198 yards of flight, the bullet begins to accelerate... And that is the reason why .338 LM is so expensive.

The reason they don’t stabilize until that range is that the fly-by-wire hasn’t detached yet and is still being fed guidance by the IOR TOW module. I think Millet and CounterSniper make a system also.
Once the wire has detached, speed is greatly increased (like a rubber band being stretched) after that jacket is shed like a snail with salt poured on it.
But yeah, first 200 yards is totally dedicated to programming and transmission really.

It takes 198 yards for the 338 to overcome coriolis effect and become stable, I thought everyone knew this.
You guys have it all wrong, and don't know what the hell you're talking about. The obviousness of the problem should be apparent to all:
The di-lithium crystals need to be re-calibrated. It's only logical.

As a 338LM owner/shooter, Ill offer this tech tip to help stabilize out of the muzzle!!!!
Drill a 5/32 hole in the receiver and ignite the round with canon fuse. This activates the propulsion system being used (ammo manufacturers vary here between simple sugar engines, to the ultra rare binary gas systems). Once the fuse burns flush with the receiver (safety glasses are a must as the embers sting like the devil in your eye), pull the trigger. The primer and secondary propulsion system will be working together. No more key holes under 200 yards.

Doesnt the .338 LM rely on steam catapult launch to get the projectile started than the burners take over?
Same effect you see on carrier take offs, plane is all fucked up at launch and than "goes to sleep" under its own power.

This is more common than you think....
You'd be shocked at how many retards...er...FUDDs, think that parabolic curve in the trajectory indicates a bullet "rises" from the muzzle.
Oh the stories I could tell. Worse thing ever, was ammo makers putting ballistic trajectories on the back of a cartridge box.
"Thet thang shoots harrrd! See it skeets up when you farr thet rahffle. Thet bullet takes er while ta start commin daown."

"Thet sumbitch shoots so hard, grabbity don't take holt fer a while."
"Grabbety...by God thet's what it's called. It's grabbety, it's what grabs stuff and holds it to the groun."
I kin feel the back of my neck gettin’ redder jest reedun’ things hear.
Grabbety may not be real-don't you know?
The flat-Earth conspiracy is spreading around the globe. Does it hide a darker core?
"I don't want to be a flat Earther," David Weiss says, his voice weary as he reflects on his personal awakening. "Would you wake up in the morning and want everyone to think you're an idiot?"
"Firstly, and most importantly -- "none of us believe that we're a flying pancake in space." The community merely believes that space does not exist, the world sits still and the moon landing was faked. The jury is out on gravity -- but as Davidson notes, no one has ever seen it."
Fudd's keyholing comes from a lack of coriolis due to the earth actually being flat and stationary inside a bubble. Duh.
Don't let my smooth talk fool ya, I dun read me a book or 3.
Hey Bender, you should send the OP a link to this thread. Maybe some of these ideas will help him get his shit straight. Or, maybe it'll let him know his buffoonery has gone International.

Holy shit, I had no idea so many people rejected the basic tenets of geophysics. I wonder: if a flat-Earther gets into ELR shooting do they revert back to normal lol? "Wait, I have to acount for the curvature and movement of...the Earth?"
The 338LM only does this when fired from a Savage.
Some replies. Lol

6.5 Creedmor - The Hull Truth - Boating and Fishing Forum
Dockside Chat - 6.5 Creedmor - As for your argument of case capacity, more powder doesnt always mean more power. Its no different than an engine. Just because you have a big block with lots of displacement doesnt mean you have more power than a small displacement small block. Its all in how that...
www.thehulltruth.com
One can plainly see that this is nothing more than the catalytic reaction resultant from the exposure of a REALLY slooowww burning, temperatures insensitive new Extremus powder from Hodgdon and a liberal dose of oxygen. Don’t over think this, it’s that simple.
