Hi all, I have a 27,5“ (700 mm) Heym CPQ coated barrel and would like to shoot Lapua 180 gr Scenar-L put of my 7mm/.284 Win. The barrel has 8,7“ (220 mm) of twist. I am currently using N160 and getting 2769 fps (844 m/s) wirh 52,1 grs. The powder is completely burnt in the barrel. However, I also read many posts with recommendations for N165.The powder doesn’t seem to burn completely - purely mathematically - inside my 27,5“ barrel.What are your experiences with the two powders in shorter barrels?BestUwe

Hi all,did you test the cal 7mm/.284 Win Hornady 180gr ELD Match bullets over the Lapua 180gr Scenar-L yet?The Scenar-L shoot well but the ELD-M bullets do have a much higher BC. Also, the Scenar-L bullet overall length vary a lot, because of the bullet tip, which is not unique.Do you have any comments on my thoughts above?Many thanksUwe

Hi all, does somebody use Peterson brass for .248 Win? I‘ve measured 0.0160“ neck wall thickness. Do you know how thick the Lapuas are in this calibre? Just to compare it. Additional, I experience significant problems with running these used Peterson brass with my Wilson FL die. One brass did stuck in the die. The only way of success is to use the wider Forster die with a lot of lube. I get the following numbers for my fired Peterson brass (CIP): P1: 0.4995“ P2: 0.4780“ H2: 0.3200“ Many thanks Uwe
