    What Caliber?

    Re: What Caliber? The research favors the 375/408 in that link because the BC of that 375 bullet was 1.120 and the 338 bullet had a BC of .838. The 375 bullet must have been a solid copper bullet. The highest claimed BC's I have found are from Rocky Mountain bullets. The 375 in 370 grain has...

    338 Lapua and 375 Cheytac bolt face

    Re: 338 Lapua and 375 Cheytac bolt face HA... Well the magnum boltface I have is for just a regular mag like a 300 RUM, 300 win mag, etc. The other one I could measure when I get home to see what I come up with. I was just curious if the 338 Lapua and Cheytac were the same bolt face or not...

    338 Lapua and 375 Cheytac bolt face

    What is the bolt face size of the 338 Lapua and the 375 Cheytac? I want to say the 375 Cheytac is a tad larger bolt face but I am not sure. Anybody got the dimension? Are they the same? Thanks, DoubleG

    What Caliber?

    Re: What Caliber? Thanks for all the help and information. I appreciate it. Looks like the 338/408 is the way to go. Now, I just have to determine if I can afford to build it.. ha. DoubleG

    What Caliber?

    Re: What Caliber? Thanks for all the help and information. Seems like the 408 case necked down to a 338 is the way to go. I look forward to the berger 338 bullets. This will definitely be an expensive gun to shoot. I am okay with the brass cost, bullet cost, but don't know what to expect for...

    What Caliber?

    I just bought a BAT 1.55 MB action with a magnum bolt face and a cheytac bolt face. What should I build for extreme long range shooting with the best wind advantage? I am thinking something like the 338 snipetac, 375 cheytac, etc. Might could trade the magnum bolt for Lapua 338 bolt. I would...

    6.5x47 to 1200 yards...

    Re: 6.5x47 to 1200 yards... Sorry for the long delay... I am shooting a Savage Varmint action with DBM in a HS Precision Stock and a 26 inch Shilen barrel. I am using RE15 at 38 grains with CCI BR4 primers in Lapua brass (of course). It is running 2875 fps. I still have some vertical to...

    6.5x47 to 1200 yards...

    Lomaxmsu78 and I went and shot some last weekend. I managed to shoot one groups at 800 yards and 1000 yards. Then we moved back to 1200 yards and shot three groups. The mirage was rough at first but my last 1200 yard groups the mirage was gone. I was a lot of fun.. Maybe next time we will move...
