[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 328283, member: 5060"] Well am back from hunting at the ranch and this is entertaining to say the least---- some people are having trouble grasping the issue here. The point being made to all of the people with limited cognitive ability had nothing to do with the shooting ability of the poster. Now read it again and see if you can understand it this time. I have lost count at the number of animals I have shot at long range (crows to feral hogs). I have the best build my equipment and the outcome is always predictable when I pull the trigger but that is because I "practice" at the ranges that I hunt and compete at. To the people who thing shooting 1k competition is easy then why not try it and see how long it takes you to get used to a person shooting a 338 Lapua AI less than 6 feet from you with the concussion of the MB making your bubble level for example vibrate right off of the concrete bench. Not many people do because you cannot as a general rule win using the big big boys in the 1K game. Hunting is a different matter entirely being easier IMHO. Remember I have done both successfully before you start tinkling down my leg here. I was going to have reamers made for the 338 AM and build one or rather a refined/modified version of it but decided that it was not a smart move given the inconsistency of the brass available at that time. The 338 Slowpoke (which is a Speedy and my design) was what we went with but am now tinkering with building the aforementioned reamer again. Must admit it has potential for development into a very accurate round that could maybe, possibly be used for hunting and competitionl in the IBS HG class. Like the cartridge quite a bit and will be most likely be building one shortly, also am not casting any aspersions on the (read this part carefully) personal shooting abilities of the poster when he (key word) is pulling the trigger.
