[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 1095157, member: 20646"] That is a beautiful firearm. Workmanship looks amazing - congratulations!!! It seems to me that with all the great 338's around, there yet remains a definite void. The more or less "gold standard" long-range 338 bullet is either a 300gr Berger or SMK. With these bullets, most of the big 338's top out at approximately 2,800-2,900fps. The next 338 range are the huge CheyTac-based variants which seem to push those same bullets to approximately 3,400-3,500fps (or more?). So, where are the 338 chamberings that can easily achieve 3,100-3,200fps (without being hugely down-loaded or at dangerous pressure levels)? [/QUOTE]
