I didn't read all of the replies so if someone covered this, I apologize. For me, accurate reloads depend on consistency. Consistent brass, consistent seating depth, consistent neck tension and consistent powder charge etc should all equal consistent velocity. You need a chronograph to actually...

If that price includes shipping, I'll take it. Let me know. Thanks Bob

I'd be glad to have them. PM me the specifics. THANK YOU, Bob

I am looking for .338, 250 Grain Sierra Game Kings. Sierra number 2600. Please let me know if you have any you can spare. Thanks Bob

I'll take them. PM sent for payment info.

Is this built on a New Haven action or a more recent action?

I ordered a flat top (no inlet) stock with molded in color in August. I called a week ago and they said "it was ready to go to finish soon". So 7 months and counting for a stock that isn't inletted.... I really wish there was another option!

Ok, I'll play along.... Based on this comment alone, in your own words, the bullet uses energy to make a wound channel. So I would think having more energy for a big animal like an elk is a good thing. One would think that based on your comment, more energy would equal a bigger wound channel...

I'll just assume that you are joking or being sarcastic when you say that energy doesn't mean anything..... Let me try and reduce this to a VERY basic level... ALL bullets create energy. Good hunting bullets retain their weight and mushroom well. If a bullet mushrooms well it creates a wound...

Who said anything about a .338 FMJ?? That wasn't part of the discussion or even realistic?

That was from my Arrowhead custom inline in .45 cal. 1 in 20 twist Brux barrel on a Remington action shooting 327 grain Parker Black Max bullets sized to bore at 2450 FPS with Blackhorn 209. Delivers 2526 Ft Lbs of energy at 300 Yards. Killed a small 6x6 bull in unit 36 NM in 2020. The bull...

Mine delivered a little over 2500 lbs of energy, according to the ballistic calculators....

It has almost nothing to do with bullet diameter and almost everything to do with energy and hydrostatic shock. For example, according to any common ballistic calculator: A .264 dia. 140 grain Nosler Partition with a realistic muzzle velocity of 2900 FPS has 1268 Ft Lbs of energy at 500 yards...

I can appreciate your logic but I still feel a bigger cartridge is "better". If you hit them in the heart, almost anything will do the job. Shooting good under pressure is important but not everything... wind will move a lighter bullet further and a lighter bullet does less damage. If you shoot...

I truly don't understand threads like this.... Of course you can kill an elk with a 6.5 Creedmoor. You can also use a 6.5 PRC, SAUM 6.5-284, 6.5(you fill in the blank). You can also kill them with a 260, 243, 270 308 etc etc. You can kill them with a bow and arrow too, so anything more powerful...
