    DTA SRS in 338 LM or 7.62X51?

    Re: DTA SRS in 338 LM or 7.62X51? Grab the .30 cal (.308win). It is much cheaper to shoot, requires no brake to shoot comfortably, is still capable out past 1000 yards and is generally a good calibre to learn on. You have a DTA so getting a new barrel/bolt is no problem. Trust me get the...

    Best long-range caliber to reload for the dollar.

    Re: Best long-range caliber to reload for the dollar. If you want a mild recoiling rifle, the 6.5s are great. A 7mm magnum is superb especially with those 180 grain pills. But recoil is obviously a factor. The venerable .30cal will easily get you to 1000 yards when pushed hard (155 scenars...
