[QUOTE="wadedc, post: 410744, member: 6992"] [b].338 AM first time out.[/b] I took my new .338 AM to my range for the first time today and WOW nice work Kirby. I don't think I really understood how much energy a 300 SMK at 3400fps had until today! I only loaded a few rounds to see how high I could go before pressure got to high. Took a couple shots to sight in and then the last 2 went under 1" at 425 yards and put about 5/8" holes through my AR400 target. My 338LM barely scratched this same target! Now my only problem is with the scope bottomed out I have to hold 10MOA under the target. Which means 10MOA under plus about 3.75 MOA that the bullet dropped at 425yrds puts me at about 13.75 moa when my scope is zeroed. That is about a 1000yrd zero. Is the only way to remedy this to order a 20 min base instead of my 40 min base? Wade [/QUOTE]
