    Very delicate I would say. Stick to the 243 with about 44 grains of 2209 and an 85 grain sierra and you should be right! No need to dial. Sneak in close and BANG!

Just quoting velocities above recognised maximums without the load info and a disclaimer is not responsible for a commercial entity in my opinion.
    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 ?

    How did this thread ever get to 10 pages so quick ?

    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
    Tweed or not to Tweed that is the question

    I'm a keyboard expert.

    I can tell you all about keyboards.

    You use them to make sweet synthpop music. And also to type in the URL of your favourite pornographic website, and to argue with people about retarded shit on the internet.

    some gimp are taking an active interest in others reloads in this calibre -especially unusually fat speeds with heavy projos. If its not you read my dog semen thread it may be more interesting

    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

    I think you missed my point. I was subtly making fun of people using the phrase 'keyboard experts'.

    Righto Bob. Maybe not that techo. But how do you get a case that would chamber in a standard .223, 7mm longer to form another gruntier .223 wild cat?
