[QUOTE="Akmtnrunner, post: 2350491, member: 92526"] Graybush, Any update on your project? I just dove in to a similar one. So far, I have on order: 22" CarbonSix bull contour barrel twisted 1:10 (heaviest I'll shoot is 265 and formulas say 1:10 is good) AB Raptor 10-stack Suppressor Mesa Precision Altitude stock Red Snake nEXT bottom metal AICS magazine with 3.6" internal room The supply of magnum T3x's has dried up for the year. I do have a T3x that was a 7RM and rebored by JES into a 338 WM that I am not wild about. The stock barrel is a bit whippy and I can't thead it for a suppressor. I can't decide if I should cannibalize this for the action or sell it to help fund the 33 Nosler. I am leaning towards selling it as it's a rare but very practical hunting rifle here in AK. It's amazing how catching the suppressor bug changes perspective on rifles. The truth is, I am satisfied with the performance of the 338 Win Mag but I'd need to rebarrel it to use a suppressor. So if I need to do that, in my mind, I may as well move to a modernized version of it. Anyways, I do have a question for anyone experienced with the 33 Nosler . . . If I am looking to shoot 225 to 265 grain bullets (265 LRX being the longest at 1.72"), is it worth having it longer throated? The magazine has enormous room for the long ogive and pointy tips, but I am not sure if the bearing surface of those bullets will actually need it. [/QUOTE]
