Looking to build a 338 subsonic. These are the cartridges I have in mind but not in any particular order:
338 Spectre
338 Federal
338 Whisper
338 Krazy Ivan
Reamer - Easy to find for the Federal and LRI has one for the Ivan. I’ll have to order for the other two.
Dies - Federal is easy to find, other three may have to go custom through Whidden for a good set.
Brass - Federal and Spectre can be bought. The other two will involve some labor.
Action - Bighorn Origin for Spectre and Crazy Ivan. I may run the other two on a Badger M2013(already have)
Barrel - Special order
Load info - It’s out there for all four. Not to worried about that.
Suppressor - 9mm or 338 can? Seems people have gone both ways.
I’m just after any info from people that have gone down this road. I’ll most likely use a 16” barrel with I think a 8 twist. This will be for subs only, don’t plan on running any supers.
Thanks
Note:
I have a bolt gun in a 300 Blk so I have somewhat of an idea as to what I’m getting into.
