Thread: t3 .300 win mag to .338 edge conversion

haha i feel what ur saying proudkiwi. and your probably right, but everywhere i shoot is breezy, and the goal of the build was for a rifle to fire 300smks to 1000 + . 338 lapua seemed to expensive . i always feel that bigger is better too haha. as well as the ooooh factor haha. i wouldnt say im an olympic shooter but am fairly confident on long range shooting, and can afford the build so why not

In real life there is no real difference between the 2 for ranges under 800 and bugger all for distances over either. Unless you can really shoot the ballistic advantages of the .338 will be lost in the 'noise' for anything under 1000.

I would probably spend the money on a S&B whack it on the win mag and shoot it till the barrel is knackered. In the interim save up more cash and learn a bit about shooting at distance blah, blah, blah.

Actually, ignore all that and just do what makes you happy
