[QUOTE="tom m., post: 898729, member: 14956"] I can't post pictures from my phone, feel free Shawn. John also has a reamer for 338 norma improved, it's the exact same except the neck of course. The beauty of the norma is you throat em for real bullets and still use as a repeater. My 338 LIMP on the right has the proper freebore for 300 grain smk and hybrid, but is a single shot. I have always believed that your potential precision is much greater if the rifle allows you to see impacts. So my personal preference for rifle weight for a given cartridge might be heavier than a lot of folks. We are doing these first 300's at 12 lbs, and if it jumps to much, a heavier barrel will be on order. My 338 accuracy is at 2990 with a 300 hybrid, wind drift at a mile is 106.27 inches at the last field data I had entered. The 300 will drive 230 hybrids safely to 3150, same parameters entered, wind at a mile is 120.71 inches. 338's will always have an energy advantage, but the 30 has sufficient energy.... a lot less violence on my end of it though. My current 338 weighs 22 lbs, and I spot hits well at that weight. Tom [/QUOTE]
