Mr_Logic 5 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I presume you simply want to hit targets a f***ing long way away? Quote Link to post

lgray88 4 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 i noticed a advert in a magazine that wilson fieldsports were selling 100 norma cases for £150 so thats not a bad deal although they arent as good as the lapua brass Quote Link to post
leadpig 0 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 how many uses per case,how much per shot with 100 home loads Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Bottom line is ammo is V expensive and not easy to find, home brews are still pricey, the calibre is awesome and will leave a serious dent in your shoulder (and whatever it hits) and in your part of the world will have very limited use I suspect....nevertheless, once you have shot everything in the Shetlands you will be able to start picking stuff off on the mainland with that!!

SNAP SHOT 194 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 personally, if i was flush enough i'd go the custom route, for this calibre, you won't be poping of targets at 300, or 400 yards with it. its too bloody expensive.. you'd need at least a 30 " barrel. there is a hell of alot of powder to burn... plus you want as accurate as is possible to reach out there....
