[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2192351, member: 116439"] Hey Y’all For year 2022 I know that we all have been discussing the "Perfect 338 Lapua Mag Build" and I must say that from all the input we are finally deciding on building the "338 Lapua Magnum AI. Jill and I took a lot of the data, researched it, took personal opinions, and personally spoke with hunters and ELR shooters. There was a lot of pros and cons and that will always be. As we said in earlier post it takes us about a year for a build to take place and finish. We have no rush or "Have to Have This" attitude. we have started out with some builds where we said "THIS IS THE ONE" and ended up with something altogether different after doing due diligent. We all of us on this site have seen all too often many times where there is a Beautiful rifle build with only a few rounds down the tube. It's for sale most of the time at a loss to the seller. I always ask "Why are you selling this really beautiful build" answers are: Well, it isn't the caliber i really wanted, It’s not the right twist rate, It doesn't work for the type of hunting I want (don't know what that means) and so on. Most of the time they tell you that it is a great rifle and I concur with that. I have seen some of the nicest (I want to own) rifles for sale right after the owner builds or buys them. Well, their loss is someone else's gain. If you are going to build a rifle, please put some thought into it. Buying off the shelf is something different. Contracting with a gun smith or building yourself needs to have a lot of thought process and information to have a build that you will enjoy holding in your hands and is the correct caliber with matching bullets to accomplish a successful hunt or put them in the X ring. And here i am ranting about building when I really wanted to get information on ELR bullets for the 338LM Ai build tha Jill and I are going to do, What is everyones thought on the [HEADING=2]Berger 338 Caliber 300 Grain Hybrid OTM Tactical Rifle Bullet[/HEADING] This bullet has a G1 of BC 822 and an Hybrid Ogive. Berger has not come out with a "Target Hybrid" for the 338 like the did for other competition calibers, but this looks like a great ELR bullet for targets. Berger has in the works a 338 target Hybrid, but no dellivery date. Thats what our build is for. Not loooking for this 338 LM Ai for hunting. We already have a .325WSM that shoots <1/2 moa with 200 Accubonds and have 220 Sierra GK that I am sure will do the trick. Just a thought. Thanks Len & Jill [/QUOTE]
