Obviously there was some interest in this subject recently :ORLY::) , and thanks to Herbmeister I found this very informative article in Snipers Hide forum. . . .
Gunsite XLR & 338 Bullet Test | Sniper's Hide
Well worth a read if you're into LR/ELR :)
PS, I'd love to see someone arguing with this lot !;)
Lately ive got my .338 running superb.... I have been coldbore 1st shot hits to 1200m very very very consistantly literally never miss... Today I git a 2m rock 1st shot warm bore at 1592m..... Compared to my 6.5 target rifle this sort of stuff is only acheivable to 800m with the smaller weopen.....
Example the other day it was blowing 20~30 knots I hit tge 734 & 833 1st hit 338 using 1 mil windage on the 833m & I think 0.7mil on closer.. 6.5 was 1.5 mil on 734 but I just couldnt connect the 833 with it......
All I wanna do is get loose in the mountains with 100 rounds and sum tahr wayyyyyyy out!!!
Jeleous much :sly:

375 is a waste of time.... the bullets are to big, the speeds are below expactations... For the $$$ & all the other crap goes with the 375s the 338s eat them as a hunting round!!!!!
I know thats why i said WHO haha, at end of day mo matter how big the cannon a k out there is a long way for a animal, fuck up the wind in the valley plant a pill in its arse an it does the bolt..............nek minut its dark an you cant get to the animals = all class, thats why 'ELR' is steel an target shooting:P
I got the bite I was after, whos the best fisherman now:PQuote:

Even when looked at few an thought oohhh year boost it up there easy as has got me a few times.........nek minut hanging off a very steep hill or fark cant get over that gut an its just there.
So ELR target an steel??? as to many factors come in when shooting at a animal an they desirve more than oh this is going to be close
Anyway.......this what your are using next year red?????? hope she dont weigh to much:P
It's only going to be carried from the van/quad, which will be parked adjacent to the shooting point :P
I ain't carrying that monster too far, I'd have to wear a truss, and push it along on top of a zimmer frame :D
