New 338 Win Mag Project

[festus]

looking for a savage 116 long action and barrel
20 moa base
and choate stock
8-32 x 56 scope
The idea is to hit a 5 gallon paint bucket at 1 mile

Do you guys think this is do-able?

 

[RDW]

I think that you could get it done. It might be a little more doable with the 338 Lapua than the win mag.The only thing wrong with the 338's is that they kill on both ends.....ouch....lol

I agree with RDW's points concerning both the Lapua and the "discomfort" at both ends of the trajectory.

Is there a reason you specified the WinMag?
