    Barrel life on 338 LM

    And lighter bullets run larger powder payloads.... If I could indulge Frank further, what about the claims of Melonite/nitriding? I wish I went through enough barrels to generate statistically meaningful data.

    Id like to put togather another bolt action hunting rilfe...243, 7mm08, or stick with .308

    I've killed elk with lightweight Barnes bullets in the 308. I make low recoil stuff for my kids in 308. It will do just fine for you. That being said, I'd have done the 708 because I've just had a thing for the 7mm bore lately.

    Hunting & Fishing One top tier all around hunting rifle

    I've seen an elk taken at 700 yards with a 243. Bell took piles of elephants with a 6.5. Neither a 6.5 nor a 243 would be my first choice though. I wonder what the OP is thinking....

    Hunting & Fishing One top tier all around hunting rifle

    Easy. Dakota 97 or better yet 76 with a #3-4 Krieger or Bartlein or the like screwed together by a great gunsmith dropped in the McMillan of your choice. I use the HTG. You get the simplicity and reliability of controlled feeding, 3 pos safety, the brilliant Winchester trigger and the even...

    If you're telling me you've strapped on a Magnetospeed and have experienced zero POI change, I'll buy your wife a new hat.

    OCW with Magneto Speed Chronograph

    The change in POI is not due to barrel harmonics but due to pressure wave reflections off of the bayonet. This issue could also influence OCW/group size. This phenomenon still exists with a bench mounted sensor.
