By the way, that first picture shows your wife loading the dishwasher while YOUR taking pictures of your new gun! How did you swing that setup?

Because that is probably a picture of his mom or his sister

 

[Tyler Kemp]

Yeah that would be little sis...probably still doing MY dishes though.

Great looking stick tyler. I am starting my long journey right now! What made you go with the 338 lapua improved over the 338 edge

To be honest, I think improved rounds look COOL. Along with the fact that the 338 Lapua brass is top notch, and top end velocity should be more with the Lapua improved. It gains a lot of capacity. I'll put up a pic with a fireformed round.

300 grain SMK seated .02" off lands, gonna test some loads from 98-102 grains Retumbo soon.

Fireforming round is some IMR 4831 under 250 grain Hornady RN.

Nice rig, Tyler.
What velocities are you expecting with the 300gr SMK ?

 

[Tyler Kemp]

I'm thinking 3000 fps should be not bad with the 32" barrel and 5c rifling, that is supposed to speed things up a bit.

 

[liltank]

I wouldn't be surprised if you would get more than that. My cousin is getting 2981fps average with a 11fps ES with 92.2grns of H1000. Retumbo was much slower by about 50fps. He is shooting a regular 338 Lapua with 300SMK. Its coming out of a 32" Douglas heavy barrel.
