[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1908437, member: 101859"] Bat HR Borden big foot Both designed to handle the increase in bolt thrust from the larger case head. 338s pushing 300s really need some weight to them. If the recoil is so bad you cant spot hits and they dont shoot as well as they can theres no point in doing a 338. Your talking about a cartridge capable of killing well past 1k, but your going to reduce its ability by building it so light. Thats my opinion and Id say most of my customers would agree. A 338 pushing 300s really needs to be about 10lbs minimum with a good brake to make use of its potential IMO. If 6.5-7lbs is the weight your after, Id look at a 7mm and I think you would have a more capable rifle. [/QUOTE]
