    F T/R Competition .308 stability issues

    Well I thought I'd have a go at the 900yard F class today. I show up with the Remo 700 XCR in .308 with hand loaded 165gn Nosler BT's traveling at 2745fps. Any way with no real DOPE on the gun I typed it in to bullet flight and got 38moa up and 6moa left. First shot......, over the radio I hear...

    338 Norma Mag barrel length?

    Re: 338 Norma Mag barrel length? So no one recommends a 1in 9 twist, 20inch barrel for the NM then? That's what I was the combo i was toying with using to build mine. I already have a .338lap in a HS HTR2000 but were having issues her in OZ with " sniper super magnums" and the powers to be.

My question is, will it fit in a m595...
