Just bought a Box (10) of Lapua 300gr Scenar .338LM Cartridges (GB528) for my Sako TRG42. Really nice looking Brass, nicely annealed and everything so it should be great for reloading when I can (and will definitely have to at $75/$7.50 per Round).
Yes it is a round that dictates reloading. It is a very straightforward round to reload, I used Vit N570 but many of the slow powders should do the same job.
Hi Thomas, Mate you are gonna have ti gi back to basics now with that to try and dispell the flinch! Its a sod when you get bitten by any rifle you always have to leave shoot through it! Good vid again my friend. J
I see future tactical huntng vids coming! LOL! I though you were kidding you cracked a tooth. When I saw you break the shot, it seemed premature. So I thought you got caught up on a light trigger. I guess it was your tooth. Ouch is right ! .4 MOA is sick @ 1400 meters. I shoot 2 MOA @ 100 yards! LOL! Awesome vid always fun to watch.
You obviously don't understand Ballistic Coefficient, and Max SS distance, so naturally you will pretty much assume that the .50 BMG is all that is capable of reaching out and touching someone at that distance. The .50 BMG or Browning Machine Gun cartridge, is certainly able to handle a distance of 1000-1400 meters. Though, why take a rifle that weighs 33 pounds, when the BC of a .243 is still high enough that you can still make a shot of 1000+ meters. The .338 is a badass choice. Sweet setup!
It can be. Came home to white snow, blue skies and little wind this weekend and everything looks splendid. Weatherwise it's a hard region which again contributes to the low population and (in my opinion) is part of the beauty.
Each year there is a long range shooting competition at the Wittington Shooting Center at Rapon, New Mexico, USA. Owned by the National Rifle Association of the USA. Some of the shooting events exceed one mile. Information of this event is on the web and RUclipss. Would like to see you there.
Sorry no, it would be wildly expensive in both time and money to travel to New Mexico, USA. There's no way I can source those resources to go shoot targets.
Would you say the 300 prc allows you to do what this 338 lapua magnum can do? Also what do you think of this hensoldt scope vs the newer ones you have used in general. Thanks for the vids
This is a very old film. A 300 PRC should definitively match the flight characteristics of a 338 LM when using the modern .30 bullets 215-250gr weight range. See ep 226 where I'm using the 300 Norma with Hornady 225gr ELD M, no reason why the PRC wouldn't do the same. That said, I ended up not having much use for the 300NM as carcass damage was excessive. ruclips.net/video/n91ueatnGeQ/видео.html
is that scope available in the US? if so how much? i like the range finder- looks like the same range finder in a russian pso scope on a dragunov. other than the 50cal the .338 looks to be a punnisher- how much more recoil than a 300win mag?
Sorry if this has been asked before... Is this the 3-12x56 scope or the 4-16x56? Great shooting Thomas I watch your videos multiple times very good info .
Hi Thomas, Did you make a blog about A-TEC Silencer ? I've one model A -TEC MAXIM in .300 Caliber and I'm searching technical information about it. Best Regards to my Friend Norway Shooter ;-) who give me a lot of information here.
Thanks, glad you have been enjoying it. No, I have not made any blogs about the silencer but you can read the manufacturer's instructions here www.a-tec.no/maintenance
While your right with the suppressor part, and as for i cannot say the same for all states, i can buy any caliber i want without any permits. from a .22-50bmg.
Hi. It is true that you sometimes have filmed through a zeiss Diascope 65T with Mildot/Finndot? If so, do you have any information regarding the size of the thin lines, dots, poles ? - sometime it vary a bit depending on the brand.
+THLR.NO Ok, but thanks for the reply anyway. In the meantime, I learned to use my brain, so I shoot a photo through the scope aiming at a ruler. I can then import the photo into a CAD program at work and measure out what I need.
I'm not too clear on the use or allowence of suppressors in the U.S..I don't recall seeing any hunting videos here using them.And if allowed in the U.S. do you need special permits to have and possess one?
@sierra645 Amazing moderator. It sound like subsonic amunition y a normal moderator. And the dial is de accuracy and the speed of the bullet. Is the accuracy the same as without the moderator or it wors? How much it is, I would like to get one! Thank you! for you fast answare and your videos, i will use them to show it in my blog. thanks!
I guess the noise reduction is considered beneficial to the ecology. You don't want to make the animals stress out. I like the Norwegian interpretation of green. In America, they are clearly looked upon with suspicion. What makes the .338 so special? Why not just use a .308 for 1000 meter shots? Please comment at length. I am very close to deciding on buying a .338 LM. Tak.
I was just wondering because the center of the target looked like it tumbled or is that how big the entry hole is with the .338? I really like the set up by the way.
Have you compared the two in low light conditions? Side by side? I hear the PMII is more durable than the H. Just wondering how they compare in lowlight... I do like the MSR reticle though.
did you shoot those 6.5s at 1400? ive been thinking of geting a new barrel for my 308 in .260 remington. i like the idea of those lapua scenar 140s staying supersonic out to 2000 yds but i dont know if its true
Wow, you guys are good! this must take so much skill shooting at 1,400 meters! were i live in southern Missouri, you are lucky to see 400 meters. there is a shooting range i know of that goes 1000 yards out but i don't have near the skill or equipment to shoot that far. I do have a 6.5x55 Swedish Mouser with a 2-7x32 scope that does just fine around here. Nice vid 2, +Subscribe+
Hello, thanks for the video, what kind of suppressor is that. I also have a Steyr SSG 08 and i am interesting in that suppressor. Are you using Subsonic amunition? I am confused couse it sound like Subsonic but to fire over 1000 mile you must use supersonic. Thank for the vid!
Nice shooting. I also shoot suppressed, took 15 mos for my last suppressor to get manufactured by YHM and clear the paperwork. Ridiculous laws and $200 from people that don't understand.
I'm the one who ask you about keeping your front scope cap on my name is joe Reynolds I used electrical tape on mine till it got cold and cracked and split do you have a close up pic of it? I'm on Facebook also
Stacey Reynolds It was underneath the cap, not over. Apply pvc tape for a very tight fit. When it's very tight, use a hairdryer to heat the cap so it'll be a little flexible. Put it on and let it shrink-fit. Caution: Too tight and it will not close.
Actually it doesn't increase accuracy in fact some say it decreases it. You should try a muzzle break for that distance less muzzle flip. The information do love my silencer as well. Easy on the ears
Calculating speed of the wind at your position does not mean its gonna be a perfect shot because the speed of wind will or might be different at the location you are shooting to.
Rouhan if you're referring to suppressorts in Australia matey they're not illegal to own with a permit! Yes you can get a permit for them if you're a professional hunter. In other words you make money off shooting! Someone mentioned 338's and above being hard to get in SA. Yes thats correct, and WA. Move to Vic and get one boys! As for this dude in the video. Looks like he has some knowledge but how fucking embarrassing for him to fire off a round and chip his tooth with the recoil! LoL!
Very nice shooting and a beautiful country to do some shooting great video
Such beautiful places you got there. Good shooting!
Many thanks for that Dmitri! Would you happen to be assosciated with "Dmitri from Paris" ;) (you find him on spotify)
Great Shooting with an great rifle in an amazing area around...you're a lucky man
Many thanks for that. Yes, the scenery is one of very very few advantages of living this far north ;)
As always, a very informative video, brilliantly made and great shooting!

Hi what type of kestrel are u using?
Kestrel 2500. I've had it for years and years now. I'm sure there's newer, more advanced models available now but this gives me what I need.

So on the SSG you just swap barrel assemblies to switch calibers?
1400 m. with in 338 lapua with such a short barrel? How?
+Mickel Burgess This is a 26" barrel. The suppressor extends rearward over the barrel.
56mm front lens on the Hensoldt?
what is maximum distance with that round 338 lap 300 gr Scenar
ALBERT E MOOTS JR I wouldn't know, depends on conditions and accuracy demand.
the bullet couldn't ever tumble at 1,000 yards could it?
Beautiful view
What state you in?, I read an article about in SA they were refusing all .338s unless you wanted to take it to court.
What kind of suppresor is that?

Your dialing backwards or was that unwinding?
So how dificult is it to get a gun licens in norway, in belgium its like impossible so i may just move to norway. I like the country alot. :)
Very easy if you're a law abiding citizen. Take a firearms/hunting course, join a club, fill in a form/ provide documentation - buy firearm.
Hei
Hvor har du kjøpt denne riflen, og hva kostet den ???
:))
Yup...it seems the Scenar bullet works....well...
Yes, Lapua is one of the Scandinavian go-to bullets when you want something to shoot well.
can this barrel ever be replaced? is it heat shrunk on? or thread?
I suspect it needs to go back to the factory. They used to be heat shrunk on the SSG69 at least.
I'm going to guess cause I'm in Australia it will be an expensive operation. So the hunt continues for the ultimate long-range rig
It's expensive even in Norway I'm guessing, not to mention the wait!
He's scared of the rifle. He flinches and closes his eyes on firing no clue.

Alway forget to ask did your tooth acutally get cracked
Yep. It has a very visible scar/ nick from that introduction! :D
you mean :B !!!!
lol nice shootin there
Actually it doesn't increase accuracy in fact some say it decreases it. You should try a muzzle break for that distance less muzzle flip. The information do love my silencer as well. Easy on the ears
It looks exactly like the Roedale Bipod only that one is € 100 cheaper.
Hei thomas . Er detter ei rifle du kan anbefal å kjøpe ?
