I am sorry but I lost you there is it a 338-06 that you have or are you just not making much sence?

Still I am glad that you are happy about your rifle.

Re: rebuild of an old gun

One hole groups out to 600 and 2" groups at 1000, you are my hero! A 338 Lapua barrel chambered in 30-06! 58gr of H110 with 180gr SST's, hell thats more like a missle launcher than a rifle! Good thing you have a laminated stock with "the aluminuim ......and kevlar bedding"-nothing else would be able to stand up to that kind of firepower!!!

I wish I could get my rifles to "break in" with only 600 rounds! You got lucky with only 400 rounds the next day to get her dialed in. NICE STICK!!

A 338-06 is an 30-06 necked up o take 338 bullets, this fellow in this thread here has taken a piss on a few to many electric fences or similar cause I fear his wires are all burned and crossed.

As stated by Mike, a load full of it.

Re: rebuild of an old gun

Ya, you said its is a 338 barrel, that is chabered in 30-06. 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

As much as some of the stuff sounds odd to me, he did say "no its was a 338 lapua magnum barrel blank weight 6,, i had it fluted and tapered , drilled to .308 inside diamater 1 and 10 twist for the heavier rounds ,chamber for 30-06"

A 308 bullet doesn't need to expand much to fill a 308 bore.

2 in moa...which one? Match sst's? H110 hybrid? I got your back, Buddy. I'll point out the believable for everybody. I believe you did sustain a brain injury...I believe you do indeed spend too much time fishing and drinking beer...and uhhhh, i'm out.

Re: rebuild of an old gun

h110 and h 110 v hybrid works good for rifles, but you have to have the gun to handle it,, if not use hodge 4350 or 4835?? max load from hornady is 54.4 grns,,, the new up to date load data is on there web site and downloadable for the new powder configures from 40 grain bullets to 450 grn bullets in all makes for hornady to sierra, to laser cast, to hand mold with and without gas checks, ballistics calculater tbm i believe with barrel length and muzzel break length and cut of angle for ports plus the records your keeping in your dope book and loading dope book, for your gun.. and measuring the brass for expansion ,, primer blow out, cracked necks, new brass or fresh cut cleaned and trimmed sit in water up to just below the necks after they have been fire formed to the gun and heat them with a butane or map gas torch until they change to the blue demacask color let them cool put them back in the tumbler and double check lenght and maybe re trim rcbs auto trimmer,, just to clean them up and even them out to get match grade qualtiy out of your brass, lyman digital powder scale recalibrated every 10 rds, and just load 20 rounds at a time till you get the load that suits you and the rounds your gun can handle.. and yes its the same powder i use to load up my 44.mag 300 xtp or 380 laser cast with gas checks, and for my 30 carbine ,, and for the 96 spanish mauser 7x57 you get a lot faster flatter shooting bullet and modify it so you can shoot it all day long and dont feel like some pro football player kicked your ass with a sledge hammer

I think what he's trying to say is he got a round piece of stainless steel without a bore from hart that was the diameter of a 338 barrel. He then used his eye laser beams to cut a 308 bore (they do teach you how to shoot laser beams out of your eyes at super secret special forces sniper school, right?)

either way, you should know what things like barrel blanks are before you make these outrageous claims so the lies you tell will at least be plausible.

Re: rebuild of an old gun

Is that a 20 moa, 20 degree, or 20 inch base ? Is it canted, offset, or upset? Do you load H110 or H100v...or is it a custom mix? What is your COL for that 30-06? Do you jam it, jump to the lands, or skip it to the grooves? I can see you having some impressive results with a setup like that.

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.

Ok I'll play.... lets raise it to $500 a shot on a 6" plate at 1k! Those hornady 180 SSt "match" has a G1 ballistic coefficient of .480 according to Hornady, whereas 185 Berger VLDs have a G1 of .549. What kind of muzzle velocity are you getting? like 4000 fps? What kind of brass, primer, etc do you use?

Obviously the projectiles are paper patched in case you need to take a 2,200 cold bore shot.

Matt1326 - You stated that you are "rated 100% disabled combat vet with 2 bronze stars and 4 purple hearts,, so what do you find so fkn funny about it ??????"
Fact is that only 35 Purple Stars have been been awarded to soilders with the last name Beck, and oddly, none have your first name.
I smell a poser. Dude, this site is viewed with people who might not have a sense of humor. Good luck with the meds. Just go away.

I'm 99% percent sure I am talking to a brick wall but do like me sit back, read, occasionally ask a question and learn.

Matt,

I'm going to make this as clear to you as I can. Sending your DD-214 to someone you don't know is about as dumb a thing you can do. Not to mention that having your picture taken holding a sniper rifle doesn't mean shit. Also, I did not see any confirmation on your DD-214 that you had graduated Ranger School.

Not to mention, there is no thing called "Airborne Ranger" school, which I highlighted red in your bullshit PM to make it crystal clear to you and anyone else reading this thread.

For the record, there is the Basic Airborne School, there is the Advanced Airborne (Jumpmaster) School, and there is the U.S. Army Ranger School. All three give graduation certificates. Ranger School in particular keeps not only extensive records on all that have ever attended but also class photos that are even posted online.

You've never been to <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #3333FF">The</span></span></span> Ranger School, no Ranger School graduate who is still mentally capable of typing on a computer has ever forgotten their Ranger Class number and the crap that you are spewing is nothing short of lies.

You are a fraud, you deserve no ones respect and you are the kind of walking-talking Lie that screws over the rest of us Veterans. I will not waste anymore time on you or your fairy tales. Piss off, you're blocked.
