[QUOTE="Wookie316, post: 301331, member: 18820"] [b]338 Gaillard[/b] I shoot the 338 Gaillard. Mine is a 26 inch Magnum Contour Ted Gaillard barrel on an AIII Sako action in a McMillan Hunter stock topped off with a 4.5x14x40mm 30mm LR Leupold scope with a B&C reticle. The scope is mounted with Talley rings! My pet load for mine is as follows: 8mm Rem Mag case that has been fire formed! CCI 250 Primer (all I had at the time, I now have some F215M to play with)! 250gr HPBT Sierra 89.5gr RL25 3050-3070 FPS This is my 338 Gaillard barreled action sitting in a custom Screwbean Mesquite stock I have. It is very pretty, nice to hang on the wall to show off. I have a Fiberglass stock I hunt with. :D [URL="http://www.338gaillard.com/"]338gaillard.com[/URL] [URL="http://www.shootingpaul.netfirms.com/GAILLARD.html"]Gaillard[/URL] [IMG]http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss108/jhowdle/_JAY4000.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss108/jhowdle/_JAY4001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss108/jhowdle/_JAY4005.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss108/jhowdle/_JAY3998.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss108/jhowdle/_JAY3718.jpg[/IMG] The top left target was some 416 Rem Mag brass I was fireforming with 225 Hornady Interlocks. 85gr IMR 7828 & CCI 250 primers. 2967 FPS (Low), 2995 FPS (High).
