338 AX owners?

[gahlizard]

i would be pleased to find out how fast everyone is getting their 300gr SMKs to go out of a 30" tube with good brass life. i know they can be pushed fast, but is assume it is detrimental to the life of some very expensive Lapua brass. i am hoping for 8-10 reloads @2950-3000fps. Is this reasonable? thanks greg

These should keep you busy for awhile...

I've got a bit of interest as I'm having one made right now---

Good luck,
