[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 816317, member: 5219"] I built a 14 lb rifle with a LA to shoot the 338 RCM long throated for the 300 gr ,match tactical hybrids. I chose a 1 in 9 1/2 twist 30" barrel. Bullets are lumbering along at a bit above 2500 fps using RL-17. Have put hundreds of rounds through this rifle. It is very accurate with moderate recoil. The barrel should last a long time as it only uses 56 gr of powder. Shot a coues wt last fall with it at around 275 yd. Bullet didn't open much and deer died a bit slower than it might have with a lighter hunting bullet. No bloodshot meat with a caliber entrance hole and a 1/2" exit hole. I'd say it might be fun to give it a try with your 338 win mag. [/QUOTE]
