Me and my buddy shooting my new 338 Lapua Mag

We where shooting factory loads, I have them listed on the website. But this is a rifle that I built in my shop on one of my long octagon actions that was redesigned for a .750 bolt body 1.062 across the bolt lugs and the action is 9.000 long and im using wyatts 10 round drop box mag, Kreiger barrel with a 1-9.35 twist rate and the chamber swell is 1.5 stainless, Jewel HBR bottom safety set at 3 oz. I used Wyatts external bolt stop and I still had to remove .100 off the stop so it would clear enough to pick up rounds from the mag. I had to use the Big Mac McMillan stock because the action is 1.600 wide and frankly it was the only one wide enough i could find big enough to take the size of this thing and to top it all off I went with the Vortex Strike Eagle with fine crosshair reticle. The muzzle break is like the old Holland break I just added another flute and as you can see in the video there is no recoil what so ever. I am currently having a blank EDMed out to see if I can come up with a lighter version of the rifle. This was just a shop prototype and something for me to work on while I was waiting on parts and other things for customer rifles to come in. Groups fired through this rifle stayed in the low .4s and that was with factory loads. Thanks for reading, Mike Wilkerson
