Reloader 33? How's accuracy?

[its only light]

Hey guys, been reading up on the new reloader 33 powder for my 338 lapua mag. I've heard good results on velocity but from what I've read it sounds like people are struggling to get any kind of accuracy out of it. Has anybody had any good results with it accuracy wise? I just bought a bunch of 300gr matchkings from a guy on the forum here and was hoping this would be that magic powder. I have a chance to buy quite a bit of it so would like to hear your thoughts!

We havn't had a chance to shoot it out any further, but I'll bet with a bit of practice she can cut those numbers in half..........

That would be acceptable for me! Its not a bench gun or anything I am using for competition but I still like small groups. Thanks for the reply, think I will buy all 6 pounds and start playing around with it.

Sounds like your bringing her up right! All kids of that age should shoot a big bore! Its alot of fun and anything that gives you that much power with the tip of a finger demands respect.

How do you cut a 1 hole group in half. Shoot sabots?

Nice rifle and very good shooting for a BIG BORE gun.

Great Pic! It is always great to see young shooters excel.

Very good indeed. It is something to smile about. She should keep at it.

Get her hooked, we need more youth in the sport. I'm working on my 15 yo daughter as well.

KUDOS to the pictured young lady for sure! Great potential for the future and speak's well for the younger generation of female shooters coming up. BTW, what kind of rest is that .338 sitting on? Thx

 

[Preacher]

The rest is a seb NEO that now lives in La.
A seb MAX took it's place....
