6GT project/range report

I assume you mean the Deer part of the question, thanks for the reply.
I know many use the 108 and mostly good comments, maybe the 109 performs differently.
Thanks again
 
Been hunting with 108ELDs since they came out, if your a shoulder shooter they might also not be for you especially on smaller/medium size game.
Behind the shoulder Im yet to see an animal jog off after taking one when leaving the barrel at 3190fps but if you hit heavy bone its ugly.

Exit on a massive black Wildebeest from 230y quartering BUT i have also literally shot a wounded springbok in half with one.

Mine was delivered yesterday. I opened the package and, although the brass looks usual for Lapua, I do not care for the cardboard box.
I can hopefully take Alpha and Lapua test loads to the range and shoot sooner than later.
Knowing me if I get some in a cardboard box, I will go dump it back into an old Lapua plastic box.
Please listen Lapua !
 
My lapua brass is a lot heavier than alpha brass, Lapua virgin 158 gr, Lapua once fired with spent primer 161 gr, alpha brass 3x fired with unfired primer 148 gr……the internal capacity shows less capacity with Lapua also about .8gr less. Lapua about 43.9x gr vs alpha 44.7x gr water weight

Also, my chamber is improved b/c I am dumb, I have 463 shoulder and 40 degree shoulder angle, it’s amounts to nothing, about .25 gr water weight than normal GT

I used n150 to fire form Lapua and have mostly used h4350 in the alpha, so don’t have direct comparison yet

Also the virgin alpha was 1.7185 OAL and Lapua is 1.720

Lapua lot LPT05738

.269 loaded round with Lapua and Alpha
