Enfield?
What did you do, buy a bunch of bubba'ed surplus stuff as donors? 
In all seriousness, part of me is a bit jealous. The other part knows I have nowhere to stretch out such a rifle so it's a moot point. |

Best 338 bullets are Bergers.
Depending on twist, if you go fast (9.5 or faster), then go with 300s. If you are going 10 inch twist, go with 250 Bergers. You can thank me later. |

I got a .338 Win Mag so that is why I asked. So you could chamber it in .338 Lapua?

Okay so I have to go to .585"? It would probably be best to replace the barrel at the same time as it is extremely thin and would heat up fast.

and in 21 years of business ive never built the old man a rifle. Hes wanting a long range elk gun, so im going to hook him up. |
