[QUOTE="MT4XFore, post: 940524, member: 4945"] Without knowing your primary use for this build, it's a bit presumptuous of me to make any suggestions. I am however a very proud owner of a 338AX. Using Lapua brass at reasonable pressures one can easily expect five loadings before needing to cull pieces of brass. Annealing, as mentioned before, will definitely extend that substantially. The advent of RL33 powder has made 3000fps with a 300gr bullet relatively easy most of the time. The AX is an outstanding long range hunting round. A bonus with it is the ability to shoot standard 338LM ammo in a pinch. In order to get a 338AX, at some point you will need to talk with Kirby. I strongly recommend you do that before you get too far along in the planning process. Kirby is not only a master rifle builder, he is especially talented in determining what a customer needs. Good luck with your build! As most of the folks on here can attest, it's a very exciting time. If I can be of any help in this process feel free to ask. Jim [/QUOTE]
