Ha yeah, I thought I only had to tell people to sort their shit out at work!

I'm still thinking that the .338 would be to big for what I am wanting but I'm not doing to well at talking myself out of it. I'll be wanting a .50BMG next.

How much does a .338LM round cost to reload? What would it cost to get a muzzle brake mounted and any other things I will need doing. Already have optics.

Savage1 =$5 a case 93gr powder there abouts $120 100 projos 1800 rounds barrel life or more .
Get a single shot .284 180gr berger much cheaper and better BC than 250gr 338 projo's

KG,
Please do tell us how you are getting this new velocity safely? That is the point, if what you are doing stacks up, then it will get the approval of the knowledgeable reloaders and will help those without experience who are looking for guidance. Just quoting velocities above recognised maximums without the load info and a disclaimer is not responsible for a commercial entity in my opinion.

With respect why dont you's fuck off ! and let Savage have a goooo at getting an answer to his questions ,idd answer them for him if i could ..

Greg.
Where are the recognised maximums ?
Who are the knowledgeable reloaders ?
Who decides if they are in fact knowledgable reloaders & not key board experts?
Who decides if it stacks up ?
Who made you the reloading police?
Who said what powder & weight I am using?
Why are we having this conversation?
Are we having this conversation because I am a commercial entity in your opinion ?
Why do people wonder why when you post it turns into a bun fight more often than not on a Kiwi Forum ?

If I say loaded a powder weight 4 grains over ADI maximum with 2217 for a 338 Lapua magnum with a 300 & a speed of 2860-70 out of a 27" barrel would that be iresponsible, dangerous in a clients rifle ?

Page 4 was a bit after lunch
I made a cup of tea and it was page 6
Drove up the road to collect the quadbike and got back and it was page 8 !!!

Nothin' like an argument to rack up the count
