I've got 130 MK, 150 MK, and 168 MK all loaded and ready to go.

I'll be there for SB and HP. Will be hanging with the Team Lapua group, and will watch for you on Wednesday. I'm usually wearing purple. Lots of purple.

(Apologies to Varn for hijacking your thread.

The Lapua crew lets you hang around even though you are shooting those old antiquated SMKs??

Hehe

Yep. They can't really complain since Lapua doesn't make a 7mm match bullet. In fact they only make ONE 7mm bullet, a 160 gr Naturalis (unless something has changed very recently that I don't know about yet). ;)

Well Trent I would say this should tell Addicted and the Guru about how much Lapua thinks of his 7mm cartridge, old, out dated are just a few of the thoughts that came to mind

Bob, Move to the 6.5 and never look back. ;)

For some reason Lapua chooses not to cash in on the huge North American .284 bullet market. Why ?

Yeah its a shame they dont offer any 7mm slugs for match shooting my 3 groove 7mm is hungry.

Maybe some smart guys at Lapua took about five seconds figuring what the market would be for a 7mm bullet and decided that they didn't need a tax write off.

Mark, I have been shooting Kriegers for the last 18 years. I won't buy anything else. I know there are other good barrel makers out there, but I am happy with Krieger. Al

Lemme see...the Japs had a 6.5, and the Italians and lets not forget the Swedes...remember 7mm is ballistic perfection

Maybe back when TR and Bucky O'Neil came up San Juan Hill they were, but not today!

JB...the 6.5 is an old design. Probably pre-dates TR....it ain't new and its OK . 7mm is still the ballistic perfect design..Sectional density etc. You know the .25 is a great projectile diameter and I bet its easy on recoil...no boo-boos.....

Snake, My only hope is that there is enough explosive compound some where that would blast you and McAlice into the present, but don't look like thats going to happen.

Trent · Post by **Trent** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 2:25 pm

BOOOOM!!!!!

Smoke clears... Nope, still stuck in the 80's.

Beckley, we need more explosives! Get some of that dynamite that McAlice is always shooting at. Maybe that'll work!
