    Bolt gun build, how to start?

    I spent almost 2 years acquiring parts. First an action, then scope, then suppressor, stock, barrel, bottom metal, trigger, ect. Started at the high dollar items and worked my way down. Figured once I got the high dollar items bought it would be easier to get a couple hundred bucks together for...

    338 Sin and why it was developed

    I would guess the 404 Jeffery, as it sounds like a blown out .330 Dakota, which is based off the 404. At least that's what I gathered from what I read.

    How long does open powder last?

    How long opened powder will last can vary greatly sometimes depending on the weather. I don't know where you live but in South Dakota we have wild temperature extremes. If I open a can in winter, and it's a winter like this with many days of -20 deg. temps, powder can last a while. However if I...

    AR500 Steel Targets???? Advice!

    Was wondering how 1/4" AR500 would stand up to the 300 mags, or .338 Lapua if you weren't going to shoot it inside 1000 yards? I would think a 1/4" would ring better, and in my case not be so heavy, when you have to carry it. On one of my ranges, that would be 2000 yards. I'd be too tired to...

    Range Report Check my math?

    Duh. I knew there should be an easy way. I was looking at JBM trying to make it calculate bullet path. My intelligence is just low today. Need more coffee maybe? Thanks man. I should have thought of that.

    Range Report Check my math?

    I deducted the bullet drop from that 597", being 96" of bullet drop, leaving me still up about 42 feet. Is this the same thing?

    Range Report Check my math?

    OK. Here's the deal. I've found a 2000 yard range, where I may be able to shoot my .338 LM, but there's 2 irrigation pivots running through it. One at 675 yards, and one at about 1200 yards. Question is. Assuming a b.c. of .76, and muzzle velocity of 2800, if I were to shoot across the whole...

    I have a 4 way on my T4A. Seems to be a good piece. I don't have any experience with any other systems, but I've been happy with it.

    Gunsmithing WHO in the Mtn West to engrave caliber designation?

    Longrifles Inc. Does very nice CNC engraving, and Cerakote work. He can do any kind of "non standard" engraving. He did a beautiful job on my .338 Lapua using the Lapua logo.

    New guy, custom build

    I too was going to go with a B&C stock. I was told by my smith I should forget that and go with a Manners. I spent the money, and did it.......... And I'm glad I did. For the kind of money I spent on that build, I wanted it to be perfect, and not wish I'd not skimped on anything. Well, it's...

    Gunsmithing 338 La "BoOm BoOm" (WHOLLY CHIT!)

    All the gasses were contained. The first indication I had something was wrong, was the round missed it's mark by about 3". The recoil didn't really even seem bad. I guess Chad make a very effective brake. After spotting the round, I noticed the magazine was laying on the ground. I found that...

    Gunsmithing 338 La "BoOm BoOm" (WHOLLY CHIT!)

    Load was 92 gr. of varget. Rifle was fired once. Magazine flew out, round didn't go where it was supposed to, chrono didn't read the velocity, and bolt wouldn't open. It hit immediately what had happened. Yup. I'm that guy. In thousands of rounds loaded, I've never had so much as a hiccup. Got...

    LRI Overwatch Magnum Rifle:

    It would appear you used the barrel engraving from my .338 Lapua on that barrel. Good to know you still have the program because I have a funny feeling you're about to be doing another one.
