#10MinuteTalk 

From a finnish standpoint it is nice to hear that our engieering in arms production is appreciated. Your winchester .308 and the nato version are two of the most used cartridges in my country. About 50 000 moose meet their maker by a hit of a .308 winchester on a yearly basis

Another vote for a full length podcast all about A.I. Cartridges.

I have found the 338 Lapua is just the right size for North American woodchucks.

Would love to hear about a full length episode on the AI's and a different episode on the Nosler family of cartridges

I own the ruger precision 338 lapua. It's a magical beast no doubt.

.338 lapua is a great squirrel hunting caliber

I would love to see one on the 280 Remington

Let’s definitely hear an Ackley episode!!

My C.A. Mesa Long Range in 338LM worked like magic on a solid bull elk at 655yds this year, 270gr eldx at 2865fps. Bull turned around, took 3 steps and landed on his face, all done.

The 338 Lapua is the new fantasy round for shooting to a mile, by people who don't make it out past 600.

I have a 340 weatherby I had built about 30 years ago on a Rem 700 action with a match grade stainless barrel and hs precision stock standard weight barrel that I had magnaported. Worked up hand loads with 250 nosler partition until tight extraction and ejector marks.3100 FPS over the Ohler chronograph, To hot. Backed the charge off to 2950 fps, safe load. During load development I would take headache pills before I would shoot 30 or 40 rounds. The Magnaporting helped big time with the recoil, before that my trigger finger and second finger would be swollen and sore from the trigger guard and right cheek bruised from muzzle climb. Problem with a powerful standard weight rifle like this is to shoot it a lot takes a lot of money and a strong constitution! On the other hand when you’re seeing a lot of grizzly sign or you want to shoot something large at long range it definitely instills confidence.

Thank you for ignoring the timer: you had me sweating since it was just getting interesting. 10 minutes is about the amount of knowledge I get from a Google search. A half hour is about right. Perfect length.

The information about the 338 Lapua was very informative and greatly appreciated. A lot of this I hadn't heard of in any discussion. Thanks again.

Stumbled upon this today as I am the proud new (but second physical) owner of an Armalite AR30 in .338. This was such an informative and enjoyable segment. Thank you

I have a savage 111 LR hunter in 338 LM. Have had it 10+ years. I love it, I hand load it and if I'm not seeing half minute groups in my 200 yard zero I'm not happy. I have customized it somewhat over the years and reached out to 1000 yards with it.

YES!!!! Finally the mighty 338 Lapua!

Some revolver rounds such as .454 Casull would be interesting with some history attached. Really enjoying these 10 minute talks 👍

The Stories after the "10 min Talk" where better than the talk! Loved it!

Love these talks, very informative! Would yall be up for doing one on the .416 Barrett?

The cartridge talk podcasts are my favorite. In previous talks the 22 hornet was mentioned but I would like to hear more about it.

Could you do 9.3x62 and or 35 Whelen. Most people shoot big game inside 350 yds. Thnx

Never fired a 338 Lapua, would like to have one though. I know their .22lr and .308 is probably the best factory ammo I've ever fired in those calibers. It's top-shelf stuff.

Love to hear 10 minutes on the 35 whelen or 338-06. The 06 based cases are often overlooked by the modern crowd, but can you get much more horsepower from a standard length, non magnum rifle?

Need a podcast about the .338 Lapua, .338 Remington Ultra Mag, and the .338 Edge, as well as the A.I. all in one.

Great video! Still waiting for a 257 Roberts episode :)

Please do the 7mm Rem Mag, compared to the 300 Win Mag!!!

Well,,,,,,,my oldest son in law has been planting the seed in my brain for a year on the thought of opening my safe and seeing a 338 Lapua in a chassis, just begging to go out and play. Great info guys,,,,, and don't be surprised if you see a pic of a Razor on top of a 338 chassis and an old guy with a really big smile!

257 Weatherby is what I would like to see y’all talk about. 25-06 on steroids. Nothing like pushing an 80 grain Barnes at 4000 ft./s.

It's called "annealing" which makes brass softer, more malleable in target areas. Maybe that is the process Lapua uses?

Would you consider doing a Podcast comparison of the 300PRC to the 338 Lapua? I know it would piss alot of people off, but I think it would be very interesting.

I can be nerdy, too. On the show, NCIS, Mark Harmon plays special agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Formerly, Gunnery Sergeant Leroy Jethro Gibbs of the US Marine Corps. (once a gunney, always a gunney.) They were investigating a case involving a sniper and had recovered enough evidence to determine it was a .338 Lapua. Which brought back Gunney Gibbs memories of his days as a Marine scout sniper. In service, his weapon was a .338 Lapua, picked for superior BC. Modernly, Barrett has made the MRAD system, first adopted by SOCOM to have three barrels and kits. .308 Win, .300 Norma Mag, and .338 Norma Mag. And then another special branch wanted more traditional barrels and parts and so another MRAD was built with .308 Win, .300 Win Mag, and .338 Lapua Mag. Nominally, the .308 is for practice but is also could for short distance urban conditions. .300 Norma Mag or Win Mag is for enemy agent interdiction. And the .338 Norma Mag or Lapua Mag is for materials interdiction, such as vehicles, objects. True, if they really want a big round at long distance, the .50 cal may take two people to deploy, one carrying the upper and the ammo, the other carrying the lower Or, they have a Ma Deuce and pray for a hit. I have read the memoirs of a few Ranger snipers. .300 Win Mag was popular because of the BC. Dial elevation, hold left or right edge of target into the wind and get a center of mass. Except for one guy, who was dubbed the Reaper, and he shot an SR-25,

280 Rem/280 AI are what IMO dream are made of!!! Would be a GREAt 10min (and much, much more) talk!!!!

I own both the .50 BMG and the 338 Lapua. Here are my thoughts. The. 50 BMG gun is huge and heavy and 3-4 MOA with military ball or maybe 2 MOA….maybe less… with match ammo. Oddly the ammo is cheaper than 338 LM. The 50 BMG is ultra loud. The overpressure is ridiculous. And, its a genuine liability to shoot as an errant projectile can travel 5-6 MILES. NO range in my state allows them. The 338 is an ultra powerful precision rifle cartridge. It was designed as a sniper cartridge to penetrate 5 layers of body armor at 1000 yards. The 338LM has a huge muzzle energy of maybe 5200 ft/lbs and requires an effective muzzle brake to shoot it well. However, the 50 BMG match rounds sling 750gr, high BC bullets at 13,900 ft/lbs!!……The only rifle capable of semi-comfortably shooting this round, in my opinion, is the Barrett M82A1………..The .50 BMG is in a league of its own no matter how you want to look at it.

An episode on .17 caliber cartridges would be cool. The hot rod barrel burner 17 Remington at 4200 fps, 17 WSM rimfire at 3000 fps, 17 Mach 4 wildcat, 17 Hornet, 17 HMR, etc. Its one of the few loadings which can have a heavier powder charge than the weight of a bullet. (17 grain bullet, and 20+ grains of powder for example.) I’d love to see someone neck down a 50 BMG cartridge to .17 cal, and see what velocities a 15.5 grain round would reach with 220 grains of powder behind it.

How about the .338 win mag?

If I was going to buy a 338 it’d be the 338 RUM. The only time the RUM falls behind the Lapua is with 300 gr bullets

the 338 Lapua has more energy at 2km, than a 44mag has at the muzzle

I love my .340 Weatherby which uses 20 grains less powder to do the same thing. It does have the belt and weird radius shoulder. The .338 Lapua requires a weird bolt face. The .338 Edge would be great but Remington brass limits it. These medium bores are great for taking energy out further. If you want to have the same amount at a .308 Winchester does at the muzzle at 500 yards, the .338's are the way to go.

How about comparing and contrasting 338 lapua against 338 norma or the 300 win mag against the 300 norma mag

Why didn't u mention a 338 edge or the 338 titan. The 338 is a 8.59 in metric. I got 7 338.maybe my fav caliber. I have a David Tubb 338 xc an 338 ai. Both in defiance deviant actions with 36.5 barrels. I do have a 338 lapua ,338-378 weatherby 31.5 barrel on a 1917 Enfield action. A 338 rum 31 inch barrel and a 338 edge. All but the edge have Krieger barrel. It's a Hart on the edge. Everyone needs to experience the 338 calibers. I'm getting 3394 with 230 bergers out of my 338 lazzaroni titan with a 36 inch barrel. That's smoking. My edge I'm getting 3294 with 225 barnes ttsx bullets with 98 grains of h1000. No pressure. Love your videos.

I chose a 338 LM for more effectiveness on largest NA game at greater potential distances . I was very surprised at the 338 LMs inherent accuracy ! My Savage Stealth Evolution has consistently grouped in 1/2 moa and I have a few groups that are sub 1/2 moa with Hornady VLD match 285 grain loads . Hornady Precision Hunter 270 grain ELD-X is very close . I have some handloads using Barnes 280 grain LRX-BT with IMR 7828 yet to be tested .

I think the single biggest reason for the .338Lapua not being offered by most rifle manufacturers is because it doesn't fit the "standard" in terms of bolt face and action length. It demands a larger action which doesn't readily fit a wide variety of other cartridges, and it takes a larger bolt face which also doesn't fit many "standard" cartridges. So any kind of "modularity" as far as the action itself is thrown out the window, and because it's so "specialized" it's kind of only suited for the .338 market and that's not a very large market segment so most manufacturers don't see a big enough return on investment to set up the manufacturing and tooling to make one. Ruger set themselves up quite nicely with the Ruger Precision rifle as "a step above" the Savage without going crazy on price, and I've seen a fair number of those rifles and people really like them.

I’d love to see one of these talks on 308 Norma magnum

Some folks complain about Lapua brass but it lasts twice as long reloading easily

awesome discussion on this round .

Picking up my strike eagle for my lapua this weekend. 2 things I love is my savage rifles and my vortex scopes

Hey as always I love the program I was wondering if you would doing update on the 68 Western When you did it you gave it good reviews but didn't know much about it I would love to hear if other people are interested in it

270 Winchester next

Own a BK110 love it, also have weatherby .338/.378. Both are deadly on heavy American game. Both incredibly accurate

I was in the U.S. Army infantry school in the 1980 and I was taught the .50 cal was to be used on personnel and equipment

6.5x47 lapua and 6x47 lapua two finnish gems

Do 300 Norma next.

Would you do the 338-378 Weatherby? Nobody on RU-vid has a good video on it.

Looking to upgrade a Browning ABolt from 30.06 to 338 Lapua just in case I ever get to go to the Yukon. Inherited from my dad, and I already have a 30.06 so I don't need another one. The 338 will give me more knockdown up close and extend my range just in case I need it. Recoil is manageable under hunting conditions and I can use a lead sled at the range !!

Definitely do a full length ackley improved episode. Or a t least a 10 minute on the 280 AI

Very expensive ammo is why it's not more popular.

I'm really enjoying getting into long range shooting this year. I'm learning a lot. I was wondering what are some good 338 lapua big game hunting rounds. I'm thinking of using my Christensen 338 lapua rather than my Ruger 338 win mag for moose this coming year.

Love to hear about the 270 Win

Everyone needs one for deer hunting its a must..lol.. it makes a 300 win mag look average

Do all the Weatherby cartridges!!!

Very interesting to learn this info. Thank you.

What’s your opinions on 338 federal?

I always use to use the .338 Lapua for hunting

I would love a ten minute on the.270

How bout a discussion on the fastest 30 cal,the 30-378 Weatherby Magnum?👍😁

Hi you need to have a talk about the Rem. Ultra mag 300-&338 cal. I have bout an their high accuracy in the 700 BDL SS rifle is a true 1000 +yd combo's very reliable Great product an USA made

I personally have 2 338 lapua rifles. One is a Ruger Precision (not bad), and the second started as a Remington 700M. Had a master gunsmith rebarrel with an ultra match, blueprint action, replace stock and install a magazine system. Remington actually more accurate at long range than stock Remington.

Couple points about the 338 Lapua magnum. There's nothing magical about the brass. All brass cartridges are for all intents and purposes harder in the body than they are up near the shoulder and neck. That's why annealing is done in the first goddamn place. There's nothing new about that. That is just the nature of brass especially when it's used in a format that actually hardens it each time you shoot it especially in the base. That's also why you have to anneal brass after several shootings. Also in testing, it actually expels more gases out of the end of the barrel after the bullet fires then the 50 BMG. My particular gunsmith has been building rifles for SEAL Teams for several decades now. He worked quite a bit with Chris Kyle specifically, amongst others. The 8mm Magnum was more than capable of this exact same ballistics before they even thought of the 338 lapua. They could have just grabbed any off the shelf 8 mm Magnum and did the exact same thing with that rifle. Belted Magnum and all. The most accurate rifle I have ever owned was a 7 mm Magnum with a belted Magnum that would fire a 20 round group, which I did on several occasions in .049-in Center to Center spread. The 8 mm Magnum standard load was 180 g slug at 3,400 ft per second. A 250 grain slug at 3,000 ft per second would not have been out of the ordinary.

Idk if anyone else has said this or not yet. But 338 PRC? Let's do it.

Boot Obermeyer in Bristol WI was one of the initial developers of the 338 Lap

Make a video on 338 Norma!

there are some nicer long range options like the .416 cheytec, but the .338 is a great round

How does the 338 Federal and 338 Win Mag stack up to the Lapua?

My 338 Lapua Magnum Savage, MDT chasse LSS XL

That's why the 300norma and 338 norma are the USA new contract sniper to retire the 50 bmg

Please make a 10 minute talk about the 300 win mag =D

You forgot the 330 Dakota. It's a wild cat but still a great cartridge.

"He wept when he opened it up " 😂😂😂😂

Let's see the 257 Roberts!!

Maybe consider their baby sniper round, the 6.5x47Lapua. In certain countries like South Africa, DENEL produces a sniper rifle in this calibre.

340 Weatherby is almost identical ballistics. Definitely a close contender, what ammo is available for you? Ammo about the same price

Just entering the world of PRS and have been looking at Savage Arms "Stealth" series, but in .308, 6.5 Creed or maybe .300 WinMag. Found a 'brand new', SA Stealth Evo, in a southpaw (a must) at a decent price, except its in .338. I am now researching everything I can on .338. As usual, start here at "Vortex Nation". I am hearing/reading, anything I wish to reach out and touch past 1000 yards should be done in .338. I am also hearing it might be "too much" for a novice in PRS....Interesting tidbit on Lapua .22's, I think I will head off and purchase some right now and have some fun.

Love the talks! Do 300RUM!

I romanticize the cartridge. Would love a conventional stock, 20-22” barrel .338 lapua with a box mag.

338 LAPUA👌👌👌

I am going on a North America tour next year for big game

We had a lot of case splitting with our 50 cals

How about 6.5 Swede? Or, the entire line of Nosler calibers?

Is a hippopotamus just a really cool opotamus? Rip Mitch

So that unicorn you are talking about, I have one. TRG-S in 338 lapua and it has never been fired. Still have the 40 rounds of lapua ammo that I bought with it.

In my opinion, 338 Lapua and its wildcats are the sweet spot cartridge for shooting 1500-2500+ yards. Any larger and costs significantly increase, and any smaller and you are losing a good bit of performance. Discounting brass, reloads are just over a dollar a piece. Battle proven, abundant worldwide, holds sniping records, good barrel and brass life, uses most standard reloading equipment presses and components, competitive in ELR light division, superb ballistics and energy, low recoil and concussion if set up properly... all for just a few cents more than a 300 WinMag.

Seems like 10 years ago there was a huge 110BA Stealth boom! Hell I almost bought one lol

338Lap cartridge prices certainly indicate that they’re made with unicorn horn and dragon’s teeth 😉😂

How often, if ever do you guys check the comments on the old podcasts? Would you guys consider doing a varmitting podcast? Maybe a cartridge talk about what rounds are best? Including barrel lengths? Bipods? Tripods? Spotters?

.338 is the ultimate long range bullet ... it’s heavy and it’s fast and it have a Lot of punch over 1000m that’s facts and yes it’s expensive ... that’s why

Would love to see a podcast on the Sherman Mags. Super High BC 195gr Berger 7mm EOL @ 2950 out of a SHORT ACTION using less powder than a WM.

.270 Winchester please. Okay thanks.

22lr ammunition. LAPUA standard match BEST there is PERIOD! Only trouble is incredibly hard to get and insanely expensive!

.17 Remington!!! Do it. Very underrated.
