Just picked up my new rifle, and this is its first day out:-

Very nice addition to the family, and welcome aboard.

Nice rifles. Both of mine are OD green. Do you have a load work up for the 338 LM?

Is it a 1:10 twist? If so, I would recommend using the 300 grains bullets. My receipe for the 300 SMK is 91.5 grains of Rl25 at 3.600", Lapua brass and Fed 215M. Work up accordingly, I started with 86 grains and went up incrementally. Good luck.

"per Afghan issue"

Is this a deployment present to yourself?
