[QUOTE="AKdan, post: 1562529, member: 83800"] I run a 338 Lapua with a 22” barrel and a lighter stock. The barrel was 28” but I ended up cutting it down since I acquired my suppressor and the 28 with the can was a hundred miles long. It’s a heavily flutted med Palma contour with a light weight stock and a vortex hslr FFP scope(about 24 oz). Total weight with a hybrid 46 can, 3 rounds, stock pack, and sling is 10.1 lbs. I am getting 2700 FPS with 300 gr accubonds. I am going to try some 265 with some faster burning powder, just haven’t gotten to it yet. I put an anchor brake on the can and it makes a ton of difference on the 338. Without it there is a ton of recoil. The can definitely slows the recoil, but there is a greater push than with the brake.... still the first time I shot the rifle with the can I threw the brake in the bushes....the hybrid is a small can for the 338, but I wanted a smaller can over a giant(quieter and $$$$) can as it still is very pleasant to shoot and now very maneuverable. I may rebarrel my Sako’s to a 20-22” barrel in either a 33 or 375 caliber . I am loving the short suppressed rifles. [/QUOTE]
