newsatten Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Think Sporting Services has some, hate to think what it would cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBoy69 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 A person at work shoots it. I vaguely remember him saying it cost £5 a pop. I did an estimate of reloading for him and that came out at £1.15-1.40 each round ignoring cases. Factoring in the cases, at £1.00-3.00 (PPU to Lapua) per case with between 5-10 reloads, that another 10-20p to 30-60p per shot. Still far cheaper, but then you have to buy the reloading kit too. Money, money, money, this hobby isn't cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hi Triumph I reload .338 lapua and find it the easiest calibre to reload as time at the loading bench saves you a lot of money the prices have dropped in the last coupe of years, I can reload premium rounds 300 grain scenars with n170 for under a pound it's quicker and a lot less fiddley than .223 if you want too shoot this calibre get reloading you will find once fire lapua brass for less than a pound each. My last batch is on its 5th reload and like new. Rgds Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph045 Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks to everyone for your responses above. I've already started reloading, and am in the process of developing a load for my rifle. The reason I asked about the Lapua factory ammo is I wanted to do a comparison against my hand loaded rounds. l'd still appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of a supplier.

PaulC Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Hi Triumph I get my loading materials through my club or MBR sporting, myles the owner is a great guy. the latest lapua catalog has all the data you need bear in mind your rifles twist rate, 300 grains need a 1 in 10 and I think some of the earlier Sako trg's are 1 in 11. Good luck Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph045 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Thanks Paul, Am working with a 1.93 twist, 27" barrel. I'll give MBR a call. A.T.B. Triumph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Welch Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hi Triumph045, When I got my DTA I had 100 factory rounds of 250gr Lap delivered with it. i still have a number of these round left as they were about £5 or so a round. i quickly got round to reloading my own for a fraction of the cost (as said above). i now use 300gr SMK with N570 and get 2750fps from a 26" 1in10 twist.

Triumph045 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 All Just in case anyone's interested, I am informed that VIking arms have 250 and 300 grain .338 Lapua magnum ammo (manufactured but Lapua) in stock. You would have to order it through an RFD. I'm going to collect some next week, it weighs in at £4.80 a pop all in. Hope this is of use! Regards Triumph045.
