I wouldn’t recommend moving up to that cartirdge unless you are proficient in shooting lesser cartridges. Otherwise you’re wasting ammo. .338 Lapua has earned confirmed kills of over a mile, and to the best of my knowledge, you won’t be seeing distances like that unless you’re overseas in the sandbox. I’d really recommend just going w/ .308 due to cost and efficiency. It’s an excellent round and can be used at any range around here and max out their longest range. I believe the longest confirmed kill is just over 800 meters with .308, so you won’t have any problem hitting a target at even 1,000 yards. If you really wanna spend $7 a round, then be my guest, but there are plenty of other cheaper options that can do what you want. Even .300 WinMag would be a better choice and more cost effective, especially since it may become a NATO cartridge in the near future so there will begin to be surplus available. ---

I would have to agree with cossey if your just using it for target shooting then either .308 or even .223 would be great and cheap to shoot .308 is a dollar a round and up .223 50 cents and up or roll your own. ---

For .223, I pay around $.30 a round, and that’s on stripper clips. I also buy 900-1,000 rounds at a time. For GOOD .308, expect around $1.50-1.75 a round. In one of my recent mags, they were shooting a short barreled .308 bolt action with the Hornady TAP in 155gr, and were doing 1/2 MOA 5-shot groups. The 168gr was hitting 3/4 MOA in 5-shot groups. You can usually find that ammo for $27-30 for a box of 20. ---

Typically I believe it is around .308 price, if not slightly more. I believe the bullet itself is the same, it’s just the casing that’s different. I may be wrong on that though. ---

Just finished my Ar. Its a yhm lower with a flat top bcm upper with pop ups till i decide which sight im getting. Ill get a picture sooner or later but its nothing special. Operates awesome. Even the trigger isn’t all that bad for being a 10 dollar parts kit trigger. Anyone have an aftermarket trigger they would recommend. I was thinking trying the RRA two stage people give it good reviews and its not 300 bucks. ---

A terrible picture from iPhone, but here is my Mosin Nagant 91/30 with a lot of hours removing cosmoline, boiling, sanding, and refinishing. Added a thicker recoil pad, which is $8 well spent! Might get the brassstacker mount for it and get a pistol scope. I was thinking about doing a turndown bolt and a repro scope, but that’s going to be too much money for a cheap gun. Brassstacker = install/remove without modifying anything for $50 shipped. So now I need to find a decent pistol scope for under $100. I can’t justify buying optics that are worth more than the gun… Well, this gun anyway. Not spending 200+ on a scope, but I will break down and spend the $50 on the mount: [ame][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOmqUdhJm\_8[/ame]](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOmqUdhJm_8%5B/ame%5D) ---

Essentially it’s like a crossbreed of the .243(being a smaller 6mm bullet in a necked down .308 case). It’s loosely based off the .338 win mag, but has better ballistics with a longer boat tailed bullet. Hand loads can get into the mid 3500ft/sec range. Has one hell of a kick though as it’s basically packing the power charge of a 300 win mag into a smaller case with a lighter bullet(typically 160-175gr) A friend of my fathers has An old remington in it that he specifically uses to hunt elk/caribou up north. If I were to buy one in that caliber though I’d probably go with a Browing A-bolt II LRH. _ **VERY** _ good rifle in that caliber for sub $1000. ---

Good to know, thanks man!! I really had my heart set on the .338 for its wow/cool factor, and its amazing ballistics, but it wouldn’t get used often.
