What was the round count on the 338?Hey Guys, only asking here because I want people who have experience with AI rifles to answer.
Just shot out another 338LM barrel on my AXMC and replaced it last week. I want to spread the round count out over several barrels instead of just hammering away with the 338LM all the time. I have decided to add a couple of other calibers that hit hard with heavy bullets, so I bought both an AI 300WM and a AI 300NM barrels for the AXMC.
What is your go to load in these 2 calibers? You can PM me with suggestions to keep the thread from diverging into something its not.
Here is a gratuitous picture of the "all around best made rifles". Thanks!

That one is coming, had to go with whats available right nowWhat powders do you have? Lol honestly i prefer the 300 prc to either of the above
1500 this time, probably 2-3 hundred too many. Barrel will still hold 3.5" at 500, just got tired of chasing impacts. Swapped out barrels and wham, better than I expected, sub .5 mao at 500, Actually it stacked 3 shots almost on top of each other. Anxious to stretch this one out to see how it really will shoot. 1st pic is old barrel at 500, 2nd is new barrel at 500. both 3 shot groups.What was the round count on the 338?
@pfl338I want to come play in your sandbox! Beautiful range!
Did you know you just defeated the purposes of the AI switch barrel system. if I have extra coins I would do the same.Hey Guys, only asking here because I want people who have experience with AI rifles to answer.

AXSR question for those who know , does the 300N & 338L run the same magazine or would I need 2 different magazines for each barrel as the feed lips would be different ?
Also do the AXSR 300N mag measure 3.850 ?
My fault Let me Clarify my question
If I buy a new axsr in 300N and later swap barrels to 338L or get Mr Tooley to spin me up one will the mag work as AI intended it to with 338l ammo and are the 300N mags 3.850
any help would be greatly appreciated
My AXSA has been neglected for the last month and a half with moving houses and stuff, and selling my ZCO ;( thinking about getting a glass coke bottle and drawing on a reticle for deer season later this fall. New 7mm proof carbon barrel is slated to show up today for it as well. My smith talked me out of a 7mm-08AI and into a 7SAW. Picture of my last trip out with my baby

Better be a Quigley or gtfoDude I got a cabinet full of scopes you can use for deer season, hit me up
I forgot about it! Already ordered!
I'm also super intrigued by the 7saw. I'll be interested to hear what you think of it!My AXSA has been neglected for the last month and a half with moving houses and stuff, and selling my ZCO ;( thinking about getting a glass coke bottle and drawing on a reticle for deer season later this fall.

Deal! That way I can zero a stage in sub 30 secondsIf you are nice I will even dial the elevation turret for you at SRM next season so you don't have to break your position
I have been running one for a while if you want any load data. Been running 26" barrels using 160TMKs but have also run the 175gr Bergers and 162 ELD M/XI'm also super intrigued by the 7saw. I'll be interested to hear what you think of it!
I was thinking of running 151 solids or 162 eldx for hunting and 180’s for matches ( prone only) as they’re easier to find. 160 tmk and 162 eldms are unobtaniumI have been running one for a while if you want any load data.

What barrel length are you going with? I ran MR2000 with the 175s and got some ridiculous velocities, was temp sensitive though. The StaBall might be an option for the 180s. The 160s and 162s are quick, am running them at 2850 with RL16.I was thinking of running 151 solids or 162 eldx for hunting and 180’s for matches ( prone only) as they’re easier to find. 160 tmk and 162 eldms are unobtanium
Are you running the long or short freebore?Ah nice, when I asked him, Clayton suggested starting at the following charges:
Varget/AR2208: 40.5gr
H4350/AR2209: 43.5gr
Reloader 16: 43.5gr
I'm running 46gr of RL16 at the moment.

I got notification yesterday from our dealer down here in Australia my AXSR in Elite Sand is here. It is coming with a 300NM barrel installed.
Now I just have a few months left on this deployment until I get to shoot it. I will never have owned a rifle so long from new and not shot it. Until then I have to live through you lot.
Post more pictures!
What an absolute beauty in ESHere's a new ES 50 ELR, I couldn't resist and got drawn back into the ES MR.. dedicated to @Krob95
