[QUOTE="Brent, post: 8695, member: 99"] 338thunder, [B]The Remington action was never made to handle those rounds!!![/B] Why, did you know Remington chambered one in a 338 Lapua sniper rifle at one time? [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] You know Sierra uses the Savage in 338 Lapua? One more, can you point me to one that has every failed? Lug strength is rated at 36,000 lbs force, the BIG Weatherby or Lapua case at 70k psi produces... 15,000 [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] The safety margin is STILL over double. I never have liked Weatherby's, wouldn't own one. Love his cartridges tho. I've got a 416 WBY, but it's a Ruger Magnum.
