I have the 338 barrel, but I am still waiting for the 30 cal barrel,they were both ordered at the same time and paid for. I ordered a 1 in 9 twist but it came from Rock Creek barrels as a 1 in 10 twist and will finnish at 30". The 30 cal. barrel will be a 1in 8 twist and I am planning on the 265 grain wildcat bullet

Kirgy, I am aware of Richards new bullet and can't wait to here how the proto types shoot. This bullet should be AWSOME........

Well, we decided to do the improved version since we already had a standard 338 lapua as a "walking barrel" and if it works the 338/378 could be eliminated from our barrelling options we consider optimum. You never really know until you test them on the exact same action. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
