[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 984472, member: 12995"] Also, unless you have a true need for a .338 Lapua sized caliber, I wouldn't waste my money on it. But it's your rifle and your money.... If you're planning on hunting and shooting inside of 1,200 yards, the .300 WinMag or .300 RUM with handloads and heavy bullets is more than enough gun. But that is just my opinion. Most people who build big boomers don't truly have a need for them, then they get tired of feeding them 120+ grains of powder and expensive projectiles, buying $5.00 a piece brass, and dealing with the massive recoil and percussion, and having to wear earplugs while hunting. Which is why you always see alot of them on the used racks at gun shops. You find alot of big .300's and .338's sitting on racks around here. But we don't have huge game animals, or very many really long places to shoot, that would warrant such a caliber. Unless you just want one....In which case, I have been guilty of building rifles outside of my "needs" spectrum, just because I wanted them. Was it practical? No. Was it expensive? You bet. But once you get the rifle and all the reloading components paid for, it's not too bad. [/QUOTE]
