    338 as next project or straight to the 50?

    Re: 338 as next project or straight to the 50? Surplus ammo for the 50 is cheaper than new factory ammo for the 338 lapua. And if you're going for bragging rights, 50 all the way. The .338 is like having a nice bass boat. The 50 is like having a 40' Donzi. Not much practical use, just for...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle brake for 0.338 Lapua Magnum

    Re: Muzzle brake for 0.338 Lapua Magnum +1 on the AR-30 brake. If you don't want a can, it is the best for recoil reduction. But it is big and ugly as fuck.

    Barrel Break-in thoughts...

    Re: Barrel Break-in thoughts... I have rifles that I broke in and I have some that had no break in. For the most part, the ones that I broke in clean easier and copper foul less than the ones that I didn't. Its only 5 or so shots of cleaning every shot so its not like I take the 10% or...

    Barrel Break-in thoughts...

    Re: Barrel Break-in thoughts... Matthew Lundy, I'm glad you brought this point up and you are totally correct. Everyone on here acts like your a dumbass if you break in your barrel. I think they just don't want to take the time to clean after each shot for a few rounds. The last barrel I...

    Differences between GAP and Tac Ops ???

    Re: Differences between GAP and Tac Ops ??? I'm sure there are a bunch of guys with crusaders that have shot 1/4" groups. It would be nice to see a show of hands, of eveyone with a GAP, does your rifle shoot 1/4"? Just because the guarantee is not 1/4" does not mean that most of their...

    short barrelled 338LM

    Re: short barrelled 338LM You don't really lose as much as you think with the short barrels. If you are shooting F-Class or something, every 20-40 fps per inch helps, but shooting steel or animals it won't make a dramatic change. This has been my experience

    Buy Action Only?

    Re: Buy Action Only? Talk to the guys at GAP. They won't sell just the action, but they will put together a barreled action built on a new 700 action. That way you don't have to buy a whole gun and a toss the stock and barrel to just get a used action.

    338 Lapua Mag - Few Questions on Use

    Re: 338 Lapua Mag - Few Questions on Use Yes they are expensive to reload compared to smaller rounds. Yes they are loud as fuck for the people next to you. And yes, if you have the money to get one, it is worth it. Nothing other than a .50 or a .408 comes close to fun you will have with it...

    300 mag vs. 300 ultra mag

    Re: 300 mag vs. 300 ultra mag Ya that' the one. 338-378 is more overbore than 300wm or 338 lapua so it should like even more barrel, but as you see in that test, it only lost an average of 12 to 18 fps per inch and with the 300 grain bullet the difference from 46" to 24" was around 250 fps

    300 mag vs. 300 ultra mag

    Re: 300 mag vs. 300 ultra mag For those who said a 300wm will do everything, go shoot a 300wm at 1k and then shoot a 338 lapua at 1k and you'll see the difference. With the lapua, a 1000 yard shot can be just as humane as a 200 yard shot. +1 on the keeping the barrel length under 26". Go...
