[QUOTE="Weda, post: 187261"] Up until this last offensive.. if you will. How oftern would the sniper engage a soft target to 1500 yards? The Birits made use of the 338 Lapua quite well. BUt the cost to outfit all the snipers with this would be outtrageous. 1000 yards seems like it would serve as a mean of sorts. Given there are opportunties to engage targets farther but how often? Not really a mention of the 300wsm will easily launch a 175 to 190 gr projectile with 1200 yard accuracy and be much more cost effective than the 300wm or the 338LM. Powder capacity less than both and Winchester Brass is much more cost effective. I myself have had several 300wsm builtin tactical configurations on a SA in the HTG, A3 and A5 stocks. All work wonderfully well. BDL and Mag fed too. With an AI mag system your can have 3 in the mag one in the pipe with the10 round you can have 7 in the mag. I imagine the mages could be altered a bit to fit 5 and 10. seems much more logical from all view points [/QUOTE]
