Great info! Those Stalker rifles can push a 300 grain Berger 3000 fps in a 26” barrel?

Head in the sand much?

If you want to get more speed out of an existing rifle and still have cartridges fit the mag the +p is a great low cost option. And the 300 and 338 Terminators with +p throats are no joke - they flat out perform. I have a 338-378 wbee and my 338 Terminator kicks its tail.

Took my 338 Terminator out for first rounds yesterday. Exactly as hoped - 3000 fps from a 27” barrel with 3000 gr Bergers and 106 gr N570.

What elevation you shooting at? Thats a lazer !

Tuned two older 338/378’s for buddy and my son. Needed bedded, new trigger and different break ( Fat Bstrd 2) . Both shoot 300 gr Bergers at 2870 lights out at 1000 yards. Cold bore hits on 10” plate at 1000. One group of 10 rounds had less than 2.5” vertical. Not sure about new ones, old...

I wouldn’t go that route - his dies don’t have a lot of beef for sizing web - I tried that route and the first die cracked and so did replacement.

I have dies that require .007 bump and as long as I anneal every time they are good for 7 or 8 firings. I've solved provlem by cutting top off a 2nd cheap die so I'm not bumping shoulder when bumping base. Two step process. I've also polished chamber with 1" wide 320 grit sandpaper in a...

Shawn should have load data to get you started. 88-93 gr H1000 cci 250 300 gr Berger or SMK for Lapua and edge should be close.

The most important item by far is making sure your scope bubble is level when cross hairs are.

Thats a beauty! Use mine everytime I mount a new scope!

That scope :-0

Anyone cant scope to counteract spindrift? Pre ballistic apps I heard it was done?

Defensive edge makes a kit for leveling off chamber sides. I can usually find a flat spot on mag or stock or action - may have to lay a ruler across it.
