[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1810286, member: 13833"] The 338 was a pleasant surprise when I built the first one. Mine has a 10 twist 3b Bartlein and will run a 250 Berger at 2800+. It is extremely accurate and not at all finicky. Short barrels are very effective because velocity loss is only about 12'/inch. Muzzle energy is well over 4000 ft/lbs and only takes 25 moa at 1000 yards. There are lots of bullet options from 185 to 300 from target, bonded, monos, etc. If I had only one rifle with an '06 bolt face to hunt everything on the north American continent, this would be it! Basically 338 WM performance on a . 470" bolt with less recoil and thousands of rounds of barrel life, being so under bore capacity ratio. Super efficient! 270, 280, or A.I. brass form well. [/QUOTE]
