Buy the best dies you can, and you will need a micro seater die that will not be in the set I like wilson.. also a set of bullet mandrels to set case mouth tension, I always throw a powder charge from a balance beam and then put it on my digital scale and trickle to exact, one at a time . Do Not worry about seating depth till you find the right powder and charge weight for your rifle there are many ways to do it if you want my way PM me it works... Anneal after every firing, I do not tumble or clean my brass just the primer pocket.....

That right there is the freeking truth ,I have shot stuff all my life I am really good at finding and killing stuff that is just me , but that is a different thing than ELR but yet it is the same, the distance is just farther I am a hunter and I approach ELR with that mindset I hunt targets, I see and have the equipment to make the shot then i do it. So making the mile and other shots did not surprise me but was a result of the work done to prepare to make that shot, gun ,scope, reloading components,understanding the air, wind, and where my target was....but after the 2280 and the bucket I knew my equipment was not up to snuff and I would need to learn more and get more to get as far as I can.. Go shoot that bitch at all the targets up to where you start to see limits coming then tackle the next phase but don't try and eat the Elephant before you kill it....

that is a great video in many many different ways everything in life plays a part is you being where you are right now.......

I have shot it to 2280 no problem at all seeing the target trace and impact... my pipe dream is also 3500 or so and I do not think I will be handicapped with 20 power the field of view gets to narrow much above that for me.....also the more power you use the worse the mirage gets and mirage can be a bitch but also your friend....and the Gen 1 6 to 20 in a 35 MM tube... you will be looking for more dial up after I would say 2400... and that is a whole other rabbit hole... Kalaes ,Night force, and another to look at in that 4000 range is No Compromise, they are made right here in my home town same as Night force... the original owner of NF started No compromise and they are OMG stellar Optics..I have shot all three and my eyes for 4 to 24 power can not tell a 2 grand difference..over my Razor but that is me and I am a old fart... so your Milage may vary....

This is the scope I shoot it has the most dial up of any scope I have found 36 Mils up down and 36 mils windage, lifetime warranty,no questions asked even if your dog eats it....and if you look at the presicion rifle blog what the pro's use 1/2 of the top ten shooters are shooting vortex it has a 4.9 star rating, and it works for value, and quality the gen one which is the link is on sale for fathers day they are hard to find but I think they said 3 in stock it fit every criteria i asked comes with everything to get going sunshade scope covers ,has a nice red lit reticle.....I have been shooting one for 4 years ,took it off my 6.5x284 and put it on the 338 never looked back..my 2 cents oh and it is sexy as hell.... P.S. I shoot all my ELR at 16 to 18 power.... https://www.opticsplanet.com/v/rzr-52006-vortex-razor-hd-5-20x50-riflescope.html

you bastard.........it was working...yeah I know at 90 grains a case nothing last long but it is stable in any weather so there !!!!! LMFAO

indeed...... i used to have many powders but now i only shoot extreme powders for weather stability.... helps the bank account too lol.

From a place you will never see ,comes a sound you will never hear!

It is awesome you got a 338 Lapua I love the new butt stock.. and yes the higher the number the slipperier the bullet.. and slippery is what you want.that Mag pro will get you where you want to be as far as speed the only thing with it is watch the heat and or cold try to match the weather that you test in no extremes. yes I imagine it kicks like a mofo but dead weight will cure that....I have not as of yet worked with Atips but I know a guy who has I will pick his brain...time to get some nice boomstick.

Cunuckgaucho, 98Z5V, what a great time and now this year much much more lets get some! thanks for the kind words every squirrel can find a nut once in awhile but that was a great nut! LOL

Absolutely, Thank them all for our freedom and safety what they gave and give is beyond understanding they gave it all God bless each and every one of them .

Well anyone who cold bores anything at a mile or even 1500 or 1200 should get a atta boy hug! when I hit that the second time it was like being on stage live playing for a huge crowd and knowing "THE WHO" were on next you know you did good but the big time is coming up behind you ..... but for a fleeting few minutes you are the big time..... every lesson , every life moment all of your life has brought you to this one moment.... now you know you can do it enjoy it ,have fun and share the good times with those that got you there . And don't be afraid to succeed it is what all the hard work is for....

Ohhhhhhhhhhh Yeah!

what a lot of you do not know is that i had been working on that gun so hard for the whole summer trying to make it the best it could be , and knowing that I was just a rank beginner at this type of shooting. but I applied all that i had ever learned from hunting , flint knapping every lesson I had learned gave me the will to try and do this for it to come out the way it did was a result of you guys and your encouragement.... I could not have done it without all of you 98Z5V, JBMatt, you guys showed it was possible and the best thing was you were there with me we all celebrated together... 98Z5V that speech made me nervous as hell but then I laughed to myself and said it is just another elk another deer, just another shot this is what you have been working so hard to do so Just DO IT! I was flabbergasted when it hit.. the second shot was the easy one the first one was the hard one ... thanks to all my brothers for giving a old man a sliver of Glory... I will never for get it ...

damn my spotter always just says Bull$hit must be code for great shot !!!!!!! LMFAO.....
