[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 180772, member: 8843"] I did a little work a couple times, basicly guide/backup shooter for the Secret Service , after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast and Bush decided that he needed to make his appearances. It made me feel good to have those guys admiring my rifle especialy since its one that I built. I had heard that at some point they uesed the 7mm mag but these boys all had 308's and mentioned that somtimes they would use 300 Win mags but not often. The 300 Winchester with 190gr bullets makes for a very good weapon at the 1000yd make but I feel for the military the 338 Lapua or at least a round in this power level makes alot more sense. I've got a Rem 721 here that is looking like its gonna get chambered for 338 lapua and built into a light weight LR hammer with what my idea of the Marines rifle should be. [/QUOTE]
