Default RE: Lazzeroni caliber 7.82 (.308) Warbird

I never said that he was hiding anything did I? I simply pointed out that one needs to read the fine print when they start comparing his cartridges against other cartridges.

Any one can make a particular cartridge look better than another cartridge simply by manipulating the "controls" of a test like the line of sight to bore, barel length, and elevation at which it is tested.

Simply put it is certainly a fast cartridge however it isn't everything that it is advertised to be when you compare it on even ground with other 30 caliber magnums.



I can take a standard 300 Winchester magnum and shoot it out of a 27 inch barrel to up the velocity from 3000 to about 3200 fps. Have my line of sight 2 inches above the bore and shoot it at 3000 feet in elevation. Plug this into a ballistics calculator and the numbers look like this for a 300 Winchester magnum.

+ three inches at 175 yards
0 at 280 yards
- 3 inches at 320 yards
- 27 inches at 500 yards.


The Lazzeroni using the same bullet will look like this

+ three inches at 175 yards
0 at 300 yards
- three inches at 350 yards.
- 20 inches at 500 yards


So you only gain 30 yards in a maximum point blank range or +- 3 inches. The Lazzerone gives you very little until you get out to 500 yards and farther.

Just giving real facts on an even keel instead of manipulated facts to make one look better than another.
