    Re: .338 Lapua Magnum questions

    Hate to stay on the topic, but would a bullet seated longer explain higher velocities without exceeding peak pressure?

    I believe it is not peak pressure, but the area under the curve as it were, that would result in a higher velocity, so if you someone like SAUM found an accuracy node with the bullet further out than average, he could be naturally experiencing higher velocities, by flattening the pressure curve?

    PS: If he had said 3100 I would have said 'its the f1chrony"

    (haha)

    the extra capacity for slower powder longer preasure is only used in longer barrels and makes more difference in cases of less capacity....I think

    Probably, but 300 RUM isnt exactly a small case, and 30 inches isnt exactly short.

    Kiwi Greg seems to use this to good effect with 2217 in smaller cases too?

    How come whenever Greg Duley makes a post on here it turns into a slagging match?

    MOST of his posts anyone else could have made and there would have been a reasoned debate, or it just accepted that it's their opinion.

    As one of the few people that supports this forum through advertising I think he deserves better than that.

    Wheather I agree or disagree with Gregs opinions I value having them on this forum. It adds to the debate and helps to increase my understanding (as a lot of other people's do too).

    You're not helping


    Can everyone chill out, not be personal, and talk about the actual issue

    I can see both sides of the argument and they're both somewhat valid

    the argument is really just about being safe with what you post on the net and Greg was being safe .I cant see why there is a problem , he clarified what he meant and it was reasonable

    Something that has been mentioned many times by many people actually...

    MOST of his posts anyone else could have made and there would have been a reasoned debate, or it just accepted that it's their opinion.
    Like a transformer, there is more than meets eye.. much more., Nz is a very small place...

    As one of the few people that supports this forum through advertising I think he deserves better than that.
    He chooses to participate on a open forum, using his own name - he is a member, NZhunter is an advertiser - 2 different entities.
    NZhunter pays for a service here - the service being the forum displays his banner as advertising
    There is no 'sponsorship' and there is no contract - so if you dont like anything about it, you dont have to continue being an 'advertiser'.
    You dont get special treatment, you get probably the cheapest rate of impressions per cent anywhere
    I dont see where he gets to take bites continually at 7mmsaum and thus 'deserves better'


    Wheather I agree or disagree with Gregs opinions I value having them on this forum. It adds to the debate and helps to increase my understanding (as a lot of other people's do too).
    The debate he brings usually stems from a statement from 'Duley the god of guns'
    Read back and see where the conflict starts in a few posts - it'll be right after he discredits a comment by one of his OPPOSITION

    Francis - Please point out me to where he said he was using 2217 and thus gives you the right to tell him he is unsafe and going to hurt someone?
