  1. Lowlight

    Did some testing of a solid today... @ 1k.

    So, I have this crazy, 338 Norma Mag Barrel from GAP/Bartlein that is a Gain Twist designed for some crazy monolithic solids and this week I was testing the latest batch. The goal to was to check stability and make sure they actually hit the target. Basically speaking this was Phase One...

    Suppressors The wait begins....DTA SRS w/ TBAC 338ba

    Entering the queue today! FDE Thunderbeast 338ba on my Stealth Recon Scout. The FDE TBAC is almost an identical match in color to the rifle. If the sound is half has good as this set up looks, I think I will be very happy. Going to run the 338 two port brake on both my 308 and 338...

    Question About Rebarreling to Larger Caliber

    Hi all, I'm considering my options for a future build. If I build a custom .308 rifle based on a long action (Surgeon/BAT/Defiance), what are some problems that may arise if I want to rebarrel to .300 WM or .338 LM after the .308 barrel has been shot out? Thanks for your help.

    Retumbo and 338 Norma Mag

    After running some quikload #'s it seems that some of the powders and loads mentioned on here for the 338 Norma Mag are over pressure. RL22 @ 83gr= 66,380psi @ 2700fps Ramshot Magnum 90gr=67,288psi @ 2741fps My question is anyone using Retumbo in there 338 Norma. It seems to deliver same speed...

    Semi Auto .338 Lapua -RND 2000 v.s. Vigilance VR1

    I am hoping that some one here has experience with these rifles, or knows of some first hand accounts in regards to their perfomance. I found this website from a search online, but cannot find my way back to the thread in which a "jimmy" something posted pictures of an RND 2000, but no actual...

    338 Edge bottom metal/ DBM?

    I am gathering parts for a 338 Edge build. I have the barrel and action 700 LA mag, soo I'm almost there. What bottom metal or mag set up are you guys using. I was going to just use a Wyatt box and BDL bottom metal to start. But if something else is clearly better I would go that way. Thanks Eric

    338 RUM Data??

    I need some load data for the 338 RUM. I was thinking of using the 250 lapuas or the 249 boar tec. Have not found load data I was impressed with. What speeds should I get out of a 32” barrel ?

    338 LM barrel life

    I know I have seen it, and it isnt much, but I have searched with both engines and have not found the answer. What kind of life can I expect from the 26" Kreiger barrel in my Desert Tac SRS 338LM?

    I have a blue printed 700 LA that was originally a 300 WinMag. I am considering rebarreling to 338 Edge. Are there any issues with the feed rails that will need to be address to use it as a repeater. I intend on using a Wyatt extended box. Thanks Eric

    Gunsmithing Rock 338 Edge twist?

    I've been thinking about building an Edge as my next project and I see there may be another Rock group buy coming up. I was curious to know what twist you guys with a Rock barreled Edge are using. I will be getting a 30" tube and would like to shoot the 300gr SMK. Thanks for the info. Cinch

    Ammo cases/boxes for 338 LM

    Getting started loading 338LM. None of my ammo boxes are big enough. When at the local shop picking up my SRS saturday, I bought the largest case they had and it is too small for the 338Lm case. What are you guys using?

    338 Lapua Velocities

    How hard do u guys run yours, reason is can the rem700 run just as hard as some of the larger actions. I am doing around 3100 to 3150 from my 250 grns and i am running 225s at around 3300 from 26 inch bbls with 10 twist.

    Which 338

    I'm thinking of getting a long range hunting rifle in 338. Looking at what Shaun Carlock does with the Edge I was thinking to going with that, the 338 Edge. But what are the pros and cons between that and say 338 Lapua? What about the 338 Winchester? How does the Winchester stack up...

    Will a 168g .338 bullet work in a 1:9.3 barrel?

    I found some .338 AP Solids that are 168g. I have read where too fast a twist can rip a bullet apart. In this case, with the majority of the bullet being a brass solid, I would imagine there is no jacket to rip apart. They are designed to shoot at 3600 FPS, but they have been testing them in...
