Great looking hammer! What is the barrel length, how much does it weight and does any brass or dies come with it?

Thanks!

How does it shoot? Loads? What bullets? Are you able to seat near l & g?

Sid Goodling is a top shelf PA gunsmith.
I never met the man.

Very accurate with little recoil. You can either shoot .340 Weatherby Magnum rounds and use the fireformed brass, or buy .340 WM brass. You could also use 300 WM and just neck size it up to .338. 250gr Hornady chronos as 3090. Chronos 2910 with Berger 300gr OTM's.

I am a little confused, is it a 340 weatherby or a 338 Lapua imptoved?

.338 Improved. The guy that invented the load is Bruce Baer. You use fireformed .340 Weatherby Magnum brass but use Bruce's dies making it a .338 Baer.

Ok, your first post says 338 LM Improved. Is the Lapua case and the 340 the same case?

Slightly different...

The Lapua uses a bigger diameter case head. It's fatter and shorter

I bought this rifle from a guy that lives in PA......he mentioned that Sid was the gunsmith. I don't personally know Sid.
