[QUOTE="Bodywerks, post: 873209, member: 62694"] Have you actually done any research on this? I don't think McGowan, or any prefit barrel manufacture offers 338lm. The general consensus is that the receiver isn't up to the task for such a large diameter cartridge(bigger the cartridge diameter the lesser the material to contain it). A couple savage expert gunsmiths have even speculated that factory savage Lapua chambered rifles use a receiver with different metallurgy. I think you'll find that it's not going to be in your best interest to go Lapua. My recommendation would be to go 338 edge. McGowan offers prefits chambered in it, brass is cheaper, and nearly same ballistics as Lapua. [/QUOTE]
