338 Lapua load test round 1 - fail...

[CJ6]

If you think that pisses them off crack off a 50 BMG with a 800 grain bullet and 226 grains of powder using a clam shell brake. You don't make many friends while at the bench.

I'd like to shoot ONE ROUND out of one of those. Then I'd stop by the hospital on my way home and have my shoulder reset and get some heroin for the headache.

It's no more abusive (with a good brake) than a 20ga. slug

I am using expensive Lapua cases with expensive 300gr Lapua Scenars, with Retumbo powder. It's accurate enough for what I bought it for.

I don't *want* to shoot it a lot. It makes my sinuses ring when I fire it and it pisses off other people nearby at the range.

I know what you mean. The M82A1 with the 750 AMAX is not very popular at the range either!
