Building 338 Terminator

[DirtNap35]

I've got a couple builds in the works with LPR (6.5 PRC and 300 NMI) but man I got the itch to send a Berger 300. My goal is to push the Berger 300 around 3025-3050+ so I'm thinking a Terminator is needed. Not interested in single feed and would like barrel length to be reasonable at 26"-28".

Would I be able to reach those speeds with that length of barrel using N570?

Would like to run carbon fiber barrel any recommendations? Or should I stay with steel?

What should my target weight be for build?

A good question for Dallas. He is Mr. 338 in my opinion.

...why not an EDGE...

Oh I'm sure I'll be calling him soon. I have a problem

I actually considered an Edge +P but I didn't think it would hit the 3000 mark. You think it would?

When in doubt, go directly to the source, https://defensiveedge.net/. Shawn Carlock designed the EDGE and Terminator.

Yep. Here's an idea 338 Reaper +P

If Dallas is building it for you, why not. Good luck!

I ended up going with his 338 Reaper. I just put in the order last month or so. The build specs will be

338 Reaper
LPR BAT
Bartlein 26" 3B (deep tight spiral flute)
LPR McMillian Nimrod
Hawkins hinged floorplate
Trigger Tech Diamond

I got my 6.5 PRC back and it has his Nimrod stock….absolutely love that stock.

Sounds like a winner!
Keep us up on the progress, if you don't mind. I'd like to hear more about it.

Will do. I'll probably start a thread for the 300 NMI when I get it. Should be pretty soon.
