338

Hi, Is there a better muzzle brake out there for the 338 AWSM than the one it comes with? Preferably one that I can just replace without having any machining done to the bbl. That stock one just doesn't seem very effective at all compared to other 338's I've shot such as the Sako and the...

I am getting ready to build and was thinking of a 27-29 inch tube since that seems to be the standard length for this caliber. I am looking at one right now that has a 25" barrel. How much range am I giving up with a 25" barrel? Thanks

I saw a comment on another thread that I can't find whereby someone said they modified a .375H&H Lee Casegauge/trimmer to use for .338 LM since Lee doesn't yet produce one unless you have them special make one. If anyone can chime in on the mod, it'd be appreciated, as I'm looking to make said...

Hi, I have a standard RCBS old school rock chucker that I got on loan. It is not the 'supreme' one with the taller opening. Is it possible to load 338LM on this (it looks like it will be tight, but might work) .....or not [?] Love to hear if anyone has successfully done so, or already...

I see that AI has some of their muzzle brakes threaded for suppressors. What would the best way to set up a barrel so it had a brake with the ability to suppress it down the road? What would the best suppressor for this be? I am doing a custom build, not an AI.

I have trying to figure out what caliber to build a 1500 plus rifle in. In looking at the drop tables from Later's site it looks like the .338 Lapua table only has 40 inches less drop at 2K when compared to a .300 win mag. Am I missing something? Are those two rounds really that close in...

If I bought a Accuracy Int. .338 and later decided to upgrade to a .375/408 could I do it with this rifle?

Playing around with some lighter bullets, the 225 Accubond to be specific, in my 338 Lapua. I did a bit of research and am now starting to try Hunter under the 225 AB. I started at 87 grains and worked up to 93 so far. Very easy extraction but just a hint of an ejector mark at 93. Anybody else...

I am looking to buy some dies for my 338 Lapua. Just wondering what is been used and any suggestions as to what the best dies might be. I am reloading for target shooting. Are the dies with interchangeable bushings worth the money? Cheers Lachlan

I would like to build a ELR rifle. I understand that their are a lot of actions you can build a .338 Lap Mag with. I think it is more limited for the .375/408. What would be the best action to use for building each of these calibers and why? Is it possible to build a .375/408 repeater, or...

Got my AICS chassis in from Mile High yesterday (thanks Diane And Randy). Got the barreled action mountee last night and the Premier 3-15 x 50 is on it's way. After a few months of patient waiting the time for break in is almost here. Will post some pics tonight.

I'm looking for the .338 Lapua mold, or more making sure that they exist. I'm getting together the parts to build a the M40 sniper and apparently they change the bullet to this Lapua fromt he .308. If there is a mold for this bullet, then I was going to do the same. If not, however, I was going...

I know that the flatter a cartridge shoots the more room for range estimation error you have without it killing you. (think .223 vs .44 mag at 200 yards) I know that you still try to range as precisely as you can. But, how much additional "fudge factor" do you get with a .375 over a .338 at...

I know there is a big difference between these cartridges as far as range goes. I want to build a ELR rifle and am trying to decide. On average, how much of a difference is there in weight for the rifle itself between these? Can they be built to similar weights, or is it like a .50 and they...

I am shooting a 338 lapua using AI magazines. I find my oal is limited by my magazines 3.5" maximum. Once I drop a 300 grain bullet and 94gr of H1000 I am concerned that I will not be able to get an accurate load. I still need to break in the barrel, chrono the loads and of course measure the...

Is there any real advantage to the 338 Lapua over the 338 RUM? Velocities look similar. Is accuracy similar, as well? I concede that the brass on the Lapua might be better. What else?

Anybody had their rifle built on this action yet? I know the first run only had 100 actions available but would like to see the finished product. Ed

I have a .30-06 with mcmillan stock etc. What would it take to change it to a .338 lapua? I have tried to find out if they take the same length action but couldn't. I know the bolt face would be different.

What are the best dies possible for 338 ultra mag Redding, Foster, Rcbs.? Are competition dies worth the $300?

whats your opinion on a 338 rum? yes it will have a brake and good stock to dampen the recoil. ive tried asking the same question on other forums just to hear get a 308 or 30-06, i have a sps308, win 270 for hunting, now i want to build a custom 338. it is not a need, it is a want. probally...
