I purchased a .338 EDM Windrunner about a year ago. I also have an AIAW in .338 I've had for over a year. I enjoy shootin both, but I have probably put more rounds down the Windrunner tube (I'm guessing 700-800). I am not very diligent about waiting for the barrel to cool between shots nor...

Re: Projo in barrel Brass rod worked!! Required a little more pounding than I expected. Had great impressions of the lands and grooves. Thanks all. Also had a casing get stuck in my resizing die. Had to tap the primer end and use the tapping screw and collar. It eventually came out. I now...

Re: Projo in barrel Shoot4fun, thanks for the information. I'm relatively new to reloading so I guess I'll add a drift punch to my ever expanding tools for reloading. Dave

Re: Projo in barrel I like the brass rod approach. Goin' to the hardware store right now!! Thanks Kinsman

Re: Projo in barrel Thanks shoot4fun. I don't know what a brass drift punch is or where I can find one. Has anyone thought about tapping the boat tail with an easy out, or would the potential for barrel damage be too great??? Dave

I have an EDM Windrunner .338. I was doing a load work up so I had 5 cartridges for each load. Apparently, in my haste I did not put the powder in one of the cartridges prior to seating the projectile. I went to the range, fired this empty cartridge and nothing happened (of course). After...

Re: Barrett 98B I know it's been awhile since the last post, but I'm considering the 98B. I know there was a factory recall. Does anyone have any idea what serial #s the recall affected?

Re: .338 cartridge overall length and AI Mag Thanks a million!!! You're right, I have some homework to do, but where do I find this info that is specific for my AI? Wikipedia gives a brief history and mentions the AX variant and the advantages of the new design to accept the longer...

Re: .338 cartridge overall length and AI Mag Do you mean the overall cartridge length is too long because the case length is longer with the Lapua and with the shorter case length of the Norma, a 300gn projo will fit in my AI magazine? So, are you advising using a Norma mag case with the...

Re: .338 cartridge overall length and AI Mag Range report: No death or disability today. Long round fit smoothly into chamber. No resistance. Zero'd in scope. 1/2" to 3/4" three shot groups at 100 yards. Not so good at 200 yards. Need to increase the butt length and raise the cheek height...

Re: .338 cartridge overall length and AI Mag Thanks again. This will be work for tomorrow. I'll give a report assuming I'm not dead or disabled. Ambient temp will be in the mid to high 90s tomorrow. I'll do some homework so I can speak intelligently regarding OGIVE/bullet comparator/etc. Dave

Re: .338 cartridge overall length and AI Mag Lt. Arclight, thanks for the info. I can put the round in the chamber without having the magazine in place. I think what I will do is place the longer round in the chamber and close the bolt then see what it feels like. I will eject the round...

I recently purchased an AIAW from one of our SN sponsors. Since I don't reload, yet, I purchased some factory rounds. I purchased a couple of different brands. The overall length of the .338 Lapua BVAC Match HPBT 300gn is too long for the AI magazine. The other 300gn rounds from HSM are also...
