[QUOTE="Nitrosteel, post: 2375124, member: 107298"] I’ve been doing research on the 338 Lapua - since it has been suggested here so many times. Certainly an awesome round, but I’m not going down that road. I could more than double my range but I’d be losing too much of what I am looking for in this rifle. I think the 338 win will do what I want inside 500 yards with a 24” barrel (and really even some beyond) to the game I’ll be hunting with it. Pretty sure I’ll do 225 accubonds over H4831 -since I’ve got plenty of it and it is temp stable. I’ve got a quote for the defiance action I want built in my inbox now -35 weeks out. Just have to decide on the stock… Likely go with a 1/10 bartlein with straight flutes and may use Hawkins precision bdl bottom metal again. Leaning towards some type of Manners carbon stock with a bdl mini-chassis. Any other thoughts on this? [/QUOTE]
