[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 190942, member: 22"] I have seen enough from my setup to know the accuracy potential is there. Just need a good bullet. I will be shooting a 338 when Berger gets theirs bullets in procduction and giving them a run for their money. If it's better than what I shot before, then I will be using my 338 again in BR. So the simple answer is yes. Thanks to you and Wild Bill on the F-Class rules clarification. I've have seen some guys try the 300WSM with 210s and some haven't finished the course of fire. I couldn't imagine getting pounded by a 338 the whole afternoon lying on my belly. My 6.5x55 Ackley BR LG worked great for me when I have competed in F-Class. It's is a good fun game to where you get to learn a lot from a different perspective. KQguy, Wild Bill has a point in the switch barrel setup. I have multiple barrels and bolts for my guns also. Didn't even think of that angle in my first post. But he even went further to say if you keep the same bolt face for both cases and simply change caliber with the barrel itself, then it's that much cheaper and easier. Just a thought to consider. Switching barrels isn't very hard and doesn't require and lot of expensive tools. An action wrench and a barrel vise. Then some place to mount your barrel vise to a sturdy bench is all. Your gunsmith does the hard work when he sets the headspace during the chambering operation. It only takes a matter of minutes to swap out a barrel. I've done it at the range many times. You will have to put some fore-thought into your scope mount setup to be able to repeat your zero setting is all. But again that isn't difficult. Steve [/QUOTE]
