    I shoot a hs precision htr 2000 338 and shoot the 285 eldm at 2850 from a 26” barrel using 95gr 2225. Have made successful hits on a ipsc target at 1 mile and 2km within 4 rounds. Targets were hidden in tussocks at a comp. with the 338 it is best to use lapua brass because it has a heavier designed case for the 338 lm. With the heavy 338 projectiles they cost about $2.6 to $3 a round to load plus 50c a firing for brass if you get 10x out of the lapua.
    Have 2 mates with 50cal on a steyr the other a dta. Both shooting the pmc 660 I think. Not the most accurate in the world. My mate with the steyr did hit a 2km 1m sq target twice out of 5 the other day with it though.
