Aug 15, 2018 · Ok I’m looking to build an new rifle to shoot 2000 yards. I’m contemplating a 300NM or a 338LM. My reasoning: 300NM Pro: uses affordable .30 cal bullets and great ballistics Con: barrel life 338LM Pro: barrel life, it’s a 338LM ? …

Mar 15, 2018 · For a variety of reasons, some health related, some due to the loss of any range over 100 yards, I am parting with my Cadex Kraken. This comes complete in 4 calibers as detailed below, .338 Lapua Magnum, .300 Win Mag, .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor. This was bought by me new, directly from Cadex in...

Nov 25, 2021 · The good news is that pretty much most .338LM rifles can go .300NM with a barrel change and the same is true for most .300NM rifles going to .338LM An idea would be to look around for an Accuracy International AX Pre 2014 .338LM (since those are usually cheaper than the post 2014) and just get a .300NM barrel and get to work having lots of fun.

Apr 21, 2018 · With a .300NM or .338LM, you can always rebarrel into the XC cartridges for more performance. For true ELR competitions you will want something bigger than any of the proposed cartridges. I think the .300NM is a great cartridge, you can stretch it out to 2500 yards but it won't be as competitive as the bigger cartridges.

May 25, 2022 · .338LM Christensen Mesa Long Range w/Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50mm Barrel length: 27" Barrel twist: 1:9.3 Bullets: 285gr Hornady ELD Powder: Retumbo Case: Factory new Lapua brass Primers: Winchester large magnum rifle Equipment: Mostly older hand-me-down RCBS stuff, but I bought brand new micrometer adjustable dies for .338LM.

May 30, 2010 · Re: Barrett 98 Bravo 338LM Review (Pics) The trigger is flat and wide , which is something i like and breaks clean at 2 pounds every time from the factory. The safety is an AR style lever , with a solid click into position. the safety cannot be engaged without the bolt being cycled ,(or at least raised and lowered). it is able to be removed and ...

Dec 9, 2018 · But I also shoot a vanilla .338LM with an 18” and it slings 300s at 2500fps, which is still good to a mile (barely). So if you’ve got 300s already, then try to get them in the 2650-2750fps zone, but just be aware that running them hot can kill your brass quicker and doesn’t always equate to better accuracy.

Nov 17, 2009 · Most smiths won't. 338lm is a fat cartridge. Once you ream the barrel you will have removed a good amount of material, leaving that much less to contain the 60,000 psi cup pressure. Most lapua rifles are purpose built with either a thicker receiver, larger barrel tenon, different metallurgy, or a combination of the three.

Jan 12, 2023 · Short Story: (1) Which rifle? MRAD vs. AXMC vs. AXSR. Is there a downside to large firing pins, especially for the larger cartridges? I want to avoid pierced primers. (2) Which Cartridge for out to 2000yds using only factory ammo? 300NM vs. 300PRC vs. any other? What twist rate? What factory...

Nov 23, 2019 · A .338LM shooting 250gr factory loads has very different long range ballistics over shooting hand loaded heavy VLD bullets or special VLD solids. In the 1500 yard range the .300 PRC is a nice choice for a lot of folks. Now if you want to go to the 2500 yard range, you may want to start looking at .300 Norma or a .338LM case necked down to .30 cal.
