[QUOTE="jfswanson12, post: 2745930, member: 123612"] Imho the best 338 repeater if you want to shoot the heavies like the 300’s is the 338 nmi. But the issue is actions that are truly lapua based friendly are limited. I would say 338 rum is pushing it COAL wise unless you have the action cut for a cfe9 and obviously run that Wyatt’s box. You could get away with a cfe12 just depends on your personal opinion of optimal bullet seating depth and which bullet. The edge is a no go for a repeater imho. If your not wanting to shoot much heavier then the 250’s you could go 338 prc (new era 338/375) or 33 nos. 33 nos would be a tad slower. Maybe 2950+ outa the 338prc and 2850+ outa the nosler. I’ve been around quite a few of the 338 options. I’m personally having 2 new ones built right now. 338 lapua imp and either the 338 prc or 33 nos. My smith gets to decide. He’s built both. Also, I don’t know if you’ve been behind many light 338’s? Anything shooting those big 300’s can be pretty hard to shoot and spot hits. [/QUOTE]
