Apologies for the late return to commenting on this thread - my wife has been unwell and in hospital.  On the mend now, I'm pleased to say.

I've had no pressre signs at all with my 98grn of RS80 behind a 300grn Berger bullet.  I will admit, I've not not shot it that much, thanks to other issues getting in the way but the 130 rounds I've put through it thus far have worked as well as I was hoping. 

 

ok great, giving me something to go on - thanks - hope your wife is on the mend !!

If it's of any interest I use 95g of N570 with the 250g scenars to get 2950fps from a 30 inch barrel.

I hear what is said about the N5 series and barrel life but with a 338 you don't fire huge amounts unless you have deep pockets!

cheers for that. I'll work up some loads looking at the book 96 is max load? should be able to get something to work.

Catch - 22 - i like your style !!!!! 

hmmm i have used rs powder in the past - with 308 and 223 but i must admit i wasnt that impressed.

I may give rs80 a go though . . providing i can source some cheap enough.

I'm using 250 lapua scenars (at the minute)

Standard ax 27" barrel

Anyone use Reload Swiss powders for 338 Lap mag? 

Looking at load data on their website (even the customer supplied data) speeds don't look that impressive

Got Viht i can use - i'm just curious . . .

cheers for the reply

will the arca rail fit on an AT?

Would you sell it seperately?

catch 22 that is a sweet looking unit !!

I'm mainly looking to use it at eskdalemuir / roundhouse / valhalla for the prl (long range ) stuff - i have an AI in 308 / 6.5x47 which works well but i'm itching to get that 1 mile stuff - plus - who doesn't love a new gun!!

My RPA will outshoot my longer barrelled AI all day in 308 form - hence why i was looking at  the 338 version - plus compared to the AI you can pick a rangemaster fairly cheap (ish)

I may wait until the AI AXMC is within my budget - but youre talking 10 grand for the full set up including scope / mounts etc etc

still . . . . it's only money

So . . . i have a 308 RPA - 16" barrel and i have to say - it's a tack driver, never let me down once and despite the lack of size - it still holds 1 moa at 1000yds !!

Now, i'm thinking of getting a 338 - but, undecided what to go for - i was all set for an RPA but . . . i've heard the 338's have issues with snapped firing pins - the 5 round mag puts me off and apparently they are just bloody uncomfortable to shoot!

The TRG doesn't appeal as i know they have had some issues in the past - triggers etc

Can anyone comment on the above? apparently 3 RPA's had to be pulled off the line at Bisley recently as they all had firing pin issues

Any info greatly received!!
