Jan 19, 2010 · Re: Why not US 869 for 338 Lapua? Rick at Alberta Tactical uses US869 alot w/300's. I've talked to him a fair amount about using US869 in our 338 Lapua improved and last I knew that was his #1 choice of powder. It is VERY slow so I doubt it would work very well with anything less than 250's and may not even work well with those.

Sep 26, 2023 · Re: 338 Norma -vs- 338 Lapua (Savage 110BA) I had read that one of the primary design goals of the 338 Norma was to accommodate the 300gr-class bullets in a 3.6" COAL. Unfortunately, I had the impression this limitation wasn't really an issue with 338 Lapua loaded out to ~3.7" to ~3.8".

Oct 13, 2009 · Re: Hearing safe .338 Lapua suppressors? I don't have a .338 can yet, will be getting a thunderbeast when funds allow. As for the suppressor covers, I run the Tab Gear ones. They definitely keep the heat signature/mirage from the can effecting your view when shooting a longer string, at least in my experience with both 5.56 and .308 cans.

May 8, 2011 · Re: 340 Weatherby vs. 338 lapua the 338 lapua hands down. the 338lapua was designed as a long range sniper round.it has proven itself to be an extremly accurate.plus it will push any given bullet wieght 100-200 fps faster than the 340. i have seen 338s hold 4-5" 5 shot groups at a 1000yds. i have not had a chance to shoot my TRG-42 at a 1000 yet.

Jul 13, 2014 · Re: 338 Lapua Retumbo loads I used a bunch of Retumbo on my Rem 700 338LM with 250 and 300 Scenars. Regarding accuracy/precision, I don't think Retumbo is any better/worse than other options. I switched to N570 for my Steyr 338LM, and am getting two results: 1) lower recoil (maybe due to the slower burn, or a better muzzle brake on the Steyr)

Jul 1, 2013 · Recently picked up a Savage 110 fcp in 338 lapua and, after working up a satisfactory load, have droped it off at my gunsmith for an accurizing Job. (action bedding, trued action, lap bolt lugs etc.) While waiting on its return, I've been pondering the 338 lapua improved chambering. I could...

Sep 5, 2024 · Readers digest version: Peterson .338 Lapua brass is stronger, more uniform, has more internal capacity, and is much cheaper than Lapua brand .338 Lapua brass. For this test I took ten random pieces each of lapua and Peterson .338 lapua brass. The rifle is an AI AXMC .338, with the factory 5R...

Mar 18, 2003 · Can anyone tell me that has used Retumbo for .338 Lapua loads what the starting and max. grains of powder are listed in the Hodgden reloading manual. I am thinking about trying some Retumbo with 250 grain Sierra Matchkings and 250 grain Lapua Scenars. I also would like to try this powder with 300 grain Matchkings.
