    Young's Guns 338 LM, 6mm AI

    I've heard a lot of good things about Young's. I think I might choose him for my next build. Nice rifles.

    300 Win Mag brass fatigue?

    I’ve been conducting an “experiment” to see how many loads I can get out of my W-W 300 Win Mag brass. I have been shooting a mild load of Retumbo and 208 A-maxes and anneal after every third firing. I just finished my 10th firing on the brass. All of these rounds were difficult to extract and...

    What is the best (most consistent) balance

    Opinions on hunting weight of NF NXS Scopes

    I'm having the exact same debate. My gun is not being built for light weight but I am hoping to keep it under 10# with scope. Adding an NXS adds 2# and will put me over the 10# mark but I want something tough and repeatable and the NXS certainly has that reputation. I just don't know what...

    Tumbled bullets = poor accuracy?

    A few years back I had a custom 338 Edge built on a 700 by a reputable smith. The gun never shot very well. Usually right around 1 MOA. I tried just about every load I could think of with the 300 SMK but it never got better. After about 250 rounds, I sold it. I explained to the buyer the...
