[QUOTE="highdrum, post: 2010371, member: 13732"] If you want the FAST speeds, you'll want an improved version. Build it on an action that has a large tenon thread of 1.1" and utilize a 1.25" barrel shank. These options will allow you to run the most pressure before chamber/action flex gives less clearance and gives clickers and bolt lift and other conventional pressure signs. The long 30" barrel should allow you to run 3200 w/ 215s. My rifle with a 26" barrel ran well at 3160 fps but after 4 reloads on brass I started getting clickers. I have a small tenon and 1.2" shank barrel, ans I suspect this to be part of the problem. Go with a smith who has a good chamber design and proper custom dies. I'd recommend [USER=101859]@Alex Wheeler[/USER] or Dallas Lane [USER=23509]@Elk Hunter 338[/USER] they've got thr norma improved figured out with dies that actually size the base to prevent clicker and early pressure issues.
