Building A ELR Rifle

[SKWERLZ]

I went out shooting with a friend of mine this morning and he had his 338 Lapua shooting Berger 300 gr. TAC bullets with 91.5 grs. of H1000. I was shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor. We were both shooting the same MOA at 500 yards then things changed fast when we got to 800 and a 1000 yards. He only needed 14 moa at 800 and 17 moa at 1000. I was really impressed until he asked if I wanted to try the rifle. It's a hunting rifle made by some guy in Idaho, Brockman's rifles. Anyway, I shot it and it almost knocked me off my stool. I would say it was severe and never want to shoot it again. You guys are in a different world, but am very impressed.

I refused to shoot my buddy’s new 338/378 hunting rifle.

He has since sold it. Lol!
I’m ok with African big game rifles but those light 300 and 338’s hurt as I have pretty messed up shoulders especially the shooting side.


My 338 is pretty spicy but it weighs 25 pounds with an awesome brake.

Come on man, ain't that bad. It's how the rifle put together. Wife never shot anything bigger than 6.5-47 Lapua but, here she was shooting my 375 Cheytac, scoring two hits at 3080 yards.

Definitely need a heavier rifle for me to shoot more than one shot.

With a good brake, a 338 Lapua is manageable on a 16 lb. rifle. My 375 Cheytac weigh 38 lbs. but with good brake combined with mercury compensator in the butt stock, the recoil is very mild. My wife can easily shoot the 400 grain Cutting Edge at over 3,000 fps in competition with no problem whatsoever.

my 11lb fully loaded 338 lapua imp. 300 grain bergers at 3,000 fps.

not gonna say it would be comfortable to shoot all day but it's very tolerable.
