managed to get an Aw338 at a reasonable deal. Its my dream rifle and I want to take it to its limits.
I've already taken my 308 and 300 win mag to 1000 and 1200 respectively so know what I'm doing re wind calls, reloading etc
The AI came with a SB 5-25x56 p4F. I'm wanting to change it to a new SB 5125 with the H58 reticle.
Is this a good idea ?
Also I found that the AI mount is actually a piece of junk. It can't hold the big SB optic. Even Chinese one's look better and the recoil lug at the is very weak and has already bent.
Am I right in going with a Sphur 45 moa base ?
PLease fill me in, on other specific aspects of maintaing this rifle and getting the maximum out of it.
Also I want to know what loads, I can do with the 285 grain projectiles and ADI 2225 powders.
I've heard that 300gn projectiles can't be used as it won't fit in mag and the 1:11 twist won't stabilise it.
