This is what I'm currently doing.....picking his brain about the same stuffMaybe call @Elk Hunter 338 and pick his brain. I thought he had a 338 of his own with headstamped brass?
Dallas Lane? I know he has his 338 reaper which I believe is some version of an improved lapua.This is what I'm currently doing.....picking his brain about the same stuff

Hey guys, long time lurker, new member here.
I'm planning on building a light-ish weight 338 for a designated elk gun. Basically want to keep the weight around 9 pounds with a ~30 oz scope. Don't want a barrel longer than 26 plus a brake and not interested in a Norma/Lapua. Planning to shoot 250-270gr bullets(bergers/accubonds/hammers) inside of 750 yards on game.
Here's my plan:
Defiance AnTi action
3.825 Wyatt's box/BDL
26 inch Bartlien 3B or other brand #5 fluted
Hawkins 2 port brake
B&C sporter stock(temporary until I get a McMillan Rem Hunter)
Mid power scope in the 30 oz ballpark
I'm leaning towards the 338 RUM with a +p throat from DE, but open to other suggestions.
Thoughts, experiences, suggestions?
I'd like to feed from an internal box mag/floorplate and I haven't been able to figure out if it would work. Also the action I want is not available in the lapua/Norma boltfaceHi.
sorry, one question. why not Lapua or Norma?
I'm currently on my way home from AZ with my elk shot with a 9&1/2lb 338 Lappua improved shooting 213 grain hammer hunters just over 3150 out of a 24" proof.
If you're going to carry it 26" plus a good break witch it will need will be long enough I really like my 24"
A light hard hitting rifle is way more difficult to be confident in any thing past 400yd with mine takes a lot of focus on how your holding it I put a 650yd cap on my hunt with this rifle and I practice a lot out to 1000yd

Yeah I'd like to get three down and one in the chamber as well.My Lappua improved feeds great out of a 4" Wyatt's box but you can only put 2 into it
