[QUOTE="300WSMMAD, post: 219717, member: 11709"] HI Guys, seems abit silly asking but Im causing myself to ageing quicker about either 338 Lapua or 338 AM/Snipetac/Cheytac (however you wanna call it) Now my problem is Im in NZ, to build a 338 LM piece of cake all the quality reloading bits are here, dies, brass etc as is reamers Barnard is an hours drive for me,True Flite barrels a day, all very easy. Now the bad *** 338 is a different kettle of fish, to my knowledge the only thing that is in NZ is the action and barrel,EVERYTHING else is going to be custom made and/or got from the US, brass,dies,reamers ETC, to bulid one in this chambering its going to be at least another $500-600 on top of the build + the on going problem of having to get in brass from the US. To make matters even worse I heard my self say "HMMM may be it too much gun for NZ", we dont have bears, moose, we have Elk but not really,our goats a pretty tough!!LOL The 338 LM is proven,easy supply good components,Lapua Brass, etc and it will be enough gun for anything in NZ 1000+ yrds. BUT I keep being brought back to Balistics of the other, OMG!! FLAT, LAZER however you put it it smashes the Lapua in to next week, and it will polverise anything here 1500+ yrds. How far do I want to shoot? Dunno As far as the bullet will go to still mantain a quick kill on game. Any advice, words of wisdom, personal experience please!! Im sure Im not the only one out there with this terrible problem. Thanks Heaps in advance 300WSMMAD [/QUOTE]
