So you have a barrel that is .338 and a a bullet that is .308. and to boot your getting 2" groups at 1k. let me know the builder, ill take 2. That aint gonna fly straight at all. That bullet will bounce out of the barrel and be like

In the original post, you said a 338 lapua bbl, and chambered for 30-06. Where talkin about two diff bullet diameters. You also said it was threaded for a lapua, now im not up on my stats, but unless you have a action, with threads like that of a lapua it wont work anyway. But either way to this point, your saying, that its a bbl blank, WITHOUT a bore cut. So it really just a heavy blank. Im confused on this 338 part. If its not chambered, rifled or bored drilled, its a peice of steel or bar stock. Even more, again i dont claim to be a gunsmith, but because it was a 338 barrel from hart, is why you had the action trued and BB, and not to ensure everything is parallel and true to the bore?. Now to the chambering, you said you have had it chambered to 30-06 springfield, then its a little different neck, like that of a 30-06 springfield. Do you mean like an ackley with a diff shoulder.? So am i corrct to this point. You had a HARt bbl blank, bar stock, that your gunsmitihm bored out, and rifled, He re threded? or the lapus threads fit, and is chambered in 30-06 with a cutom neck? And if that is a true and corrct, it shoots 2" groups ad 1K. Now ill but all the bs aside. If your gunsmith can get you groups like that out of a cutom barrrel he broed and rifled, and has in a wood stock, give me his number and ill give him some work, and ill stop commenting on this topic.
