Problem with those little Lapuas is that they have trouble making it all the way across the wider valleys with the 300 gr bullets.
If theres a large stream below, its always a good idea to have some body watching for splashes. lol.
But to get serious for a bit, have you tried or considered trying 250 gr bullets?
Many of the guys i know use the 378 Wetherby case, and their velocity is running between 2950 and 3000 FPS with the 300 gr bullet.
Most of them have switched to 250 gr bullets in order to gain velocity, and have found that up to about 1500 yds, the gun shoots flatter with those than with the 300 gr due to the velocity increase.
Mind you now im referring to hunters, not extreme distance target shooters.
That said in my fifty years of long range hunting in Pa, and having known many others who also hunt there,
i only know one person whoes word i would trust who has killed a (buck) at a mile in Pa.
And he did it with a 338x378 using a 250 gr bullet.
Velocity rules, at least to a point, after which we might be better off to just go **** on our boots than to continue to send lead.
