[QUOTE="dougm, post: 242391, member: 5372"] Well, I got the .338 Lapua mag project in the works. I ordered a Stiller Tacc.338 action yesterday. I have a Bartlein barrel on order 1:12 twist at 20 inches finished length. I have my Patriot Arms Fat Bastard brake (this thing is amazing!). I'll probably get a Joel Russo laminate Lee Six style stock for it. According to AccuLoad and Load From a Disk, I should be able to get a bit over 99% burn of the powder when shooting 225 grain bullets and speed between 2900 and 3000 fps. That would equal a .338 win mag rifle which is what I'm after. Right now for the scope I'm thinking a Horus Vision or Mark 4 Leupy not sure which one as yet. I went with the Stiller action after talking with others about the strength of the xp action when shooting the Lapua mag. I just felt like I needed more strength and so went with an action designed for the big Lapua. Right now it looks like I'm going to have GA Precision do the chambering and assembly. I'll most likely get Joel to bed it for me in his stock. I'm hoping to have it all built by June so I can work with it and take it Elk hunting in Colorado fall of 09. [/QUOTE]
