Looks like a great option, never heard of it before.if you want a 338 bore, but can't burn all the powder in a 18" bbl, why not switch to a lower capacity 338 cartridge.
I don't know how live/dead of a cartridge it is these days, but it would seem like a 338 RCM might be just what you are looking for.

I have 18" .338 LM kits on the shelf if you're interested.I'm considering putting a covert hand guard and 16" or 18" barrel on my A2 for moose hunting and am looking for cartridge recommendations. Preferably 338 cal however 30 cal would do. 338 federal maybe?
My goal here is the shortest rifle possible which can still deliver enough power out to ~400 yards. I understand I'll be suffering quite a bit with this short of a barrel, not looking to go beyond 400 or so and in all reality the shot will likely be inside 200.

Are you running strictly factory ammo for those 415s or have you developed your own load?Peterson ammo 415 gr cutting edge MTH. I must not of clicked on post reply earlier
Just factory ammo for now.Are you running strictly factory ammo for those 415s or have you developed your own load?
How does it shoot in your gun?Just factory ammo for now.
It averaged 1 1/4" groups. I haven't tried the 408 or 416 with the custom abr bag rider and custom protektor rear bag yet. I feel quite sure both will be below an inch, especially if these 2 calibers react like the 375 and 50 did.How does it shoot in your gun?
100 YardsWhat distances do you all recommend for zeroing? I've never shot .338LM and I am very excited.
That will start to fade when the costs start to add up. I love my .338's but they are expensive to feed.I've never shot .338LM and I am very excited.
Speaking of 285 ELDM....Reload 285-ELDM for about $2.00 a pop
Lapua brass will get 10-20 reloads so about $.20 a shot, 90ish grains of powder about $0.75 and then $1.00 for projectile and $0.10 for primer
Cheaper than fed GMMM 223 ammo
What reticle are you running in that optic? I’m thinking about ordering one with a T3 and waiting the excessive amount of time for itSpeaking of 285 ELDM....

I need to at least swap my current 3-20x onto my DT, the krypton isn't the biggest fan of the 5-25xUltra Short..
Are you leaving solvent in the chamber after you clean? It’s an easy thing to do and could be causing the pressure spikes, especially if the first round was good.Hey guys, need some pro advice. I just got a new barrel for the SRS A1. Breaking it in and cleaning every round as usual.
Little hiccup. It’s blowing primers out with factory Hornady ammo. And I mean BLOWING them out.
Massive cratering and piercing. Some primers were stuck in the bolt, some would fly out when spent shell was ejected, I think 1 got obliterated.
I shot 1 round suppressed and it seemed fine. Started the cleaning process and didn’t want to fiddle with the suppressor every round, so I shot 5 unsupressed.
Those are the 5 that were blowing like crazy and had massive bolt lift etc.
Any ideas on this? Any insight you may have is much appreciated.
Ive never had a barrel do this before with factory ammo. Barrel was cut with a Manson reamer. I contacted the barrel maker and asked for more detailed specs. Waiting on a response. Here are 2 fired brass. I need some help trying to resolve this.
Thanks
Did you get about 2940ish with them?It averaged 1 1/4" groups. I haven't tried the 408 or 416 with the custom abr bag rider and custom protektor rear bag yet. I feel quite sure both will be below an inch, especially if these 2 calibers react like the 375 and 50 did.
I haven't tried the Labrador yet.Did you get about 2940ish with them?
I believe we have one in the shop. I’ll be back in the shop on Monday and can check.Does anyone know of any current options for finding a longer handguard and/or long arca rail for a SRS A1 Covert? Seems like the A1 stuff isn't made anymore, understandably.
Appreciate it.I believe we have one in the shop. I’ll be back in the shop on Monday and can check.
Will do, thanks a bunchScroll up for several pages to my numerous posts on the topic. I got mine down to 16 ounces with zero creep.
Any luck?I believe we have one in the shop. I’ll be back in the shop on Monday and can check.
How did you get the weight so low? I posted about the creep fix a while back but no creep doesn’t equate to a low trigger pull weight. My trigger won’t even go down to 2.5 lbs. I’ve tried to contact DT many times and finally got a response saying that someone will be reaching out. That was about three months ago at least. I despise this damn company.Scroll up for several pages to my numerous posts on the topic. I got mine down to 16 ounces with zero creep.
Sorry, I didn't log into SH last week and completely forgot to check. Give us a call 385-212-GUNS on Monday.Any luck?
I've had good results with the 285 eldms in my 338NM on sambar.Speaking of 285 ELDM....

The details on exactly what I did are seven pages up. You can just scroll through approximately February and just look for the pictures.
