[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 11756, member: 12"] tunofun 1. Recommend you reconsider your decision as it is based on the Sierra 240s which is no longer being made. Not smart to build a gun for a bullet not being made and dwindling limited supply in field. Several guys in PA were talking about trying to get up a 30,000 bullet order and see if Sierra would run them. Right now would not count on it. 2. Brass is the cheapest component of the system. Always buy the best brass that you can find IF you expect to use it LR or in competition. My last 338 Lapua brass cost $100 for 100. Quality is tops and have never seen any Rem come close. Now if time is nothing to you and you like sorting 200-300 pieces to get 50 then use Remington brass. 3. Time and money that goes into setting up a Rem action and bedding block, you can buy a 10" BAT action and hang any barrel on it you want. It will retain its value and it is made to handle the cartridge and pressures you want. The Rem is not designed for those pressures, even though some people stretch that limit and have not had anything happen to them yet. 338 Lapua Ack Improved will push 300 gr Sierra at 3100 fps with 34" barrel. No hog walking will stand up to that. No one builds a repeating rifle for LR hunting with bullets seated into the lands and 30 lb stocks so that is not even an issue. BH [/QUOTE]
