[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 431560, member: 505"] I had two 338 lapua trg's. They are a good lightweight rifle but not great at long range because of the very light barrel and 1-12 twist which does well with lighter bullets. Mine shoot very well with the 225 accubond at 3350 fps but only for a couple shots till the barrel heats up. If you are looking at a custom action then look at the excalibur autorotate has been shooting. The ones off the 378 wby case also. Those would be the fastest. No sense limiting yourself if you are starting from scratch. I thought you had a remington action therefore the 338RUM or 338-300 ultramag would have been best to screw a barrel in. No sense doing that on a custom action though and limiting yourself leaving all that velocity sitting on the table. Velocity=wind drift at long range. That is the most critical element. All are equally accurate. [/QUOTE]
