Well, just anneal them and fire them another fifteen times!
Then do it again, and again, and you'll have fired them sixty times.......

What impresses me is that he was able to do this with a serious hammer of a cartridge. Holding 1/8 m.o.a. out to a 1,000 yards when pushing a 240-grain bullet at 3,000 fps is pretty impressive. It looks like his rifle has a muzzle break. He'd need it because the recoil generated would likely be harder than a .300 Ultramag.
This makes me wonder what a 6.5 WSM pushing a 142 or 155 Sierra Matchking or a 139 Scenar could do in the right hands, on a calm day.

Big deal, Anyone can do that. Oh wait, was that 3 zeros?
That is a good group. Even the followup group of six inches isn't half bad and an average of the two groups is, in fact, possibly more indicative of what the rifle will shoot.
The thing I always found frustrating about the 1000 yd BR game is that shooting is done "blind". That is, unless atmospheric conditions are very good indeed, the shooter has no idea where the shots have hit or what the group is until the target comes in. Nonetheless, the top shooters have figured out how to shoot remarkably consistent small groups. In the case of the Pennsylvania 1000 yd BR club, they are ten shot groups and there are a surprising number of sub 1/2 moa groups fired. Regards, Bill.

What's the case capacity of the "shortened 338 Lapua necked down to 30 cal"? A bit smaller than a 300 RUM? With a 240gr bullet in a 30 cal at 3000 fps, to keep pressures sane, you would need a very large case and a very slow powder. I get the sense that he was running very high pressures, which I didn't think were generally conducive to top accuracy.
He used 85.0 grs of H1000. Should help sales of that powder.

I'm impressed that his primer pockets are still tight after 15 reloads. If I'm able to get 5 or 6 reloads with my Ultra cases before the primer pockets expand excessively, I figure they've earned their keep.

The 6.5WSM and the 6.5WSSM have both set numerous club, state, and national records in several categories .
Both cartridges work best t around 2950, same as the 6.5/284.
The looks like a light gun class rifle .
I haven't been on benchrest.com fpr a little while, anyone know if it is an IBS or NBRSA record?
OOPS! Just read the first link, yup IBS.
The Seirras have held their own against the Lapuas and custom bullets for quite a few years, in both 6.5 and the 30 calibers.
There was also a heavy gun record in .338 cal.for a while that I know of that was a williamsport record, which was ten shots for score and group.
That was done with remington 722 action and a modified 338Winmag case.

I'm with Andy on this one, that would be roughly the case capacity of the 300 Wby, pushing a 30 cal. 240 gr bullet at 3000 fps in this case would be very high pressures indeed. - dan
