[QUOTE="Broz, post: 502926, member: 7503"] LTLR, I have a few questions for you if I may? Right now I am shooting my .338 (standard) Lapua Mag and loaded with the 300 gr Bergers with a MV of 2800 give or take a few fps. I feel it shoots very well and have taken game past 1100 yards on 2 occations with this rifle. This rifle is on a Mark V action and is over 18 lbs. I have past the 1000 round mark and even though it still will shoot 1/2 moa I know I will need to rebarrel one of these days. I have two primary rifles for hunting, a 300 win. and the Lapua. I use the 300 WM for lighter game to 1000 and I did take an elk with it last season at 803. The LM is my long range rifle for big game 1000 yards and beyond and have taken a bull at 1130 , one shot DRT. So, with all that said, do you feel I should look into rechambering to a .338 Lapua AI when the barrel time comes? I also plan to back down to a (28") sendero contour or slightly larger and replace the Mcmillan A-5 with something lighter to get its weight down to around 13lbs or so hopefully. I am a fan of H-1000, I will use 300 gr bullets and I am not sure I will gain enough MV to justify the change in dies, fireforming etc. Thanks for your input. Jeff [/QUOTE]
