[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 2188784, member: 96274"] J E Custom has a guide line of having a minimum of .150 of barrel wall thickness especially on the more intense cartridges. I respect his opinion immensely and my build is going to be a 338 Norma mag improved so I’ll definitely error on the side of caution. I just couldn’t find much on what ppl recommend for a minimum shoulder amount, however going back and reading some of J E’s stuff I see where he wants a minimum of .025 for a shoulder so I should be more than good going 3/4 in the 338 barrel. Thanks again for the help and getting this sorted out guy’s! Joshua [/QUOTE]
