Ask about protection at short range from Hornady Match 285 grain boattail hollowpoint in .338 Lapua Magnum.

Sounds like you load your own?

You just about have to with that round if you spend any time shooting it.

The biggest lie you'll tell yourself is "If I start reloading, I'll save a ton of money." You just shoot more.

Agreed. I started so I could customize loads for my .308 and for my Garand since it's not recommended using commercial loads without and adjustable gas plug.

Too funny. I started reloading shortly after getting a Garand from the CMP. It's a crazy light load compared to my other 30-06 recipes

I do not. Just pay for the Hornady Match. Pretty salty but not as bad as .50.
My SIL and I put identical rifles together.
Ruger Precision Rifle in .338 Lapua,
Vortex Viper PST II 5x25x50 FFP
Atlas bipod.
Kestrel ballistic calculator.
I bought two boxes of Federal 300 gr. Match but haven't shot them yet.

IMO, it's still the best option for hiking/fishing in Grizzly country, though.

At the end of the day, 80%+ of what I own are just dangerous toys.

I've not encountered griz in my ao.

Wife and I drove down to the Anniston store and made a long weekend trip out of it, that was back in 2009. Good I went when I did, ended up with a service grade for $495 and got some surplus ammo.

Toured the Shiloh Battlefield on the way. She got 2 nights in Nashville, her first time there.
