[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 403475, member: 12"] Chas1 No the guy I had originally been talking to developed amnesia 1-2 years ago about a 338. This is after we spent 45 minutes talking about it at one of the 1000 yard Nationals 3 yrs ago. In our last conversation I reminded him that the engineer that is really working it shot a prototype 300 at the 1000 nationals in NC 5 years ago and we all looked at them. They were using an Armalite AR338 and shot 9" groups of 10 shots, which sure is not shabby for a production $1400 gun. Outsider looking it, looks like AI and Hornady teamed up to knock the socks of the competition (Remington in this case) on the SOF sniper solicitation. They kept the smith real quiet, and Hornady until now. Both Rem and AI have top notch operator interchangable barrel systems and the Hornady 30 cal really has people looking at it. About 5 months ago I was talking with an AI VP and I mentioned that I knew the smith working with them and he was very surprised that I knew. However, the Hornady engineer was sure aware of the issue with Berger nose slump. I was surprised he did not ask me how I found out about the new bullet and what info I had. Anyway, we have another 338 bullet, now to see if it will hold up to the 408 case MV. Anyway, [/QUOTE]
