[QUOTE="80Rooster, post: 1252550, member: 53008"] I built a 338 Norma improved 3 yrs ago (35 degree shoulder)and have been hunting and shooting it for the past 2 years. Rifle is built on a Stiller tac 338 action, 26" krieger barrel w/break, McMillan atg stock, Jewell trigger, rem 700 floor plate. Topped with a 20 Moa rail and a Nightforce 5.5-22 56 NXS. Rifle weight is 10.4# I load 88.5 gr of H1000, fed 215, 285gr amax, .060" off lands. At 5600' elevation I am getting 2980 FPS out of this load. Recoil on this is mild In comparison the 338 Norma with a 26" barrel and the 285 amax loaded with 88 grains of H1000 is pushing 2750 FPS. I can magazine feed my rounds and have been extremely happy with the performance of this caliber. This is something I would recommend to a shooter that is looking for a more efficient burning cartridge in the 338 platform [/QUOTE]
