Long Magnum Caliber 7.82 (.308) Warbird®
Lazzeroni ammo part # 782WB150LZHD is loaded using Dupont IMR-7828 powder, a Federal 215M primer and a 150gr Lazzeroni
LazerHead™ bullet that is purchased undersized and then brought back to the proper diameter by the addition of a special plated-on lubricant.
Velocities should be around 3,715 fps from a 26" barrel and as high as 3,825 fps from a 28" barrel with either a 12 or 14 twist, at
72° F.
The benefits of this load are it's speed and laser flat shooting ability, allowing you to sight in dead on at 350 yards and not hold above or below the point of aim all the way out to 400 yards.
This 150gr LazerHead bullet has enough integrity, even at that speed, to retain over 90% of it's weight after complete penetration and can be used successfully on game animals weighing up to 1,000 pounds.
This load can be expected to shoot three shot groups at 100 yards from 1/2 - 1 3/8" and from 2 1/4 - 4" at 300 yards from a clean, cold barrel.
This is excellent long range accuracy for a premium big-game bullet and that is what makes this load a proven performer on 90% of the world's game animals.
Lazzeroni ammo part# 782WB168HPLR is loaded using Alliant Reloader 19 powder, a Federal 215M primer and a specially lubricated 168gr Sierra HPBT bullet.
This load was originally intended for long range competition shooting out to distances of 1,000 yards, but has since proven itself in the field as well.
Velocities should be around 3,435 fps from a 26" barrel and as high as 3,542 fps from a 28" barrel with either a 12 or 14 twist, at
72° F.
The benefits of this load are not only it's accuracy, but lower muzzle pressure and felt recoil help make it a pleasure to shoot.
This Sierra 168gr match bullet has been proven in the field by John Lazzeroni and Kirk Kelso to name a few and out of the Warbird it will take most game animals weighing up to 400 pounds with authority.
This load can be expected to shoot three shot groups at 100 yards from 1/4 - 3/4" and from 3/4 - 2 1/2" at 300 yards from a clean, cold barrel.
This is a fantastic load for long range shooting on Deer/Antelope sized game animals where pinpoint accuracy out to 500 yards and beyond is a must.
Lazzeroni ammo part# 782WB180SAHG is loaded using Alliant Reloader 25 powder, a Federal 215 primer and a 180gr specially lubricated Swift A-frame bullet.
This load is intended to push the 30 caliber 180gr velocity envelope to the max while using a bullet that will stand up to the world's toughest game animals.
Velocities should be around 3,503 fps from a 26" barrel and as high as 3,622 fps from a 28" barrel with either a 12 or 14 twist, at
72° F.
The benefit of this load is it's big brutal dose of energy, (over 5,000 foot pounds at the muzzle) in combination with the impact and penetration ability of the Swift A-frame bullet.
This load can be expected to shoot three shot groups at 100 yards from 5/8 - 1 3/8" and from 2 1/2 - 5 1/2" at 300 yards from a clean, cold barrel.
While this is certainly not stellar accuracy at long range, this load can be relied upon to take most game animals, (including the large bears) weighing up to 2,000 pounds anywhere in the world.
