I've got a new video up! Continuing the reviews with the Predator Custom Shop line, this episode features the .338 Lapua Magnum Ultra Match. I only fired like 10 shots, but I could feel it the next day!

Enjoy!

No doubt. At over $3 a shot, I think you could go all the way and reload .50 BMG for less than that. I'll say what I always do--to each his own.

Funny you mention that. There were some guys that day that were shooting Serbu .50s and when they saw the .338 rounds they said "Look, it's like a mini .50!" When they saw the price of ammo their jaws dropped. I have to admit, it's a little too rich for me blood! In fact, I'm shocked that Wally World just got me for $15 for a Win value pack of 9mm!

Very cool. 1000 yards is very far. It definately takes a good shooter and a good weapon to do well at 1000 yards.

Thanks for the review.

a guy i shoot with handloads .338 for his 1000 yard rifle and he gets the cost down to about 93 cents a round.

That seems much more reasonable. The only thing I'm sure of is that 1000 yard shooting is an expensive hobby! You need the right rifle/caliber combo, and the glass to get you there isn't cheap! I'm sticking to .308 and 600 yards for now.
