Believe it or not I paid 1300 ish for the same savage as he has. They are not that bad all in all. Now ammo on the other hand a cheap box of shit lapua ammo is like $90. Hunting ammo is usually way over 100
🤔🤔🤔 umm....these are my rifles I literally shoot every week and buy a lot of ammo for. The prices are exact. You cannot get match grade 338lm hunting ammo for less than $5 a shot.
The 338 Lapua has a 1600 meter range and it is not only great for hunting but also as a military sniper rifle. The British Army uses the 338 Lapua as its sniper round in an Accuracy International platform. The Lapua round are less expensive than the 50 BMG and it is more practical overall.
I reload 338 Lapua for 60 cents each. Yep, 60 cents. That is with 200g Speers over H414. Reloading costs for the Berger and Sierra 300's are $1.15. The 285 Hornady ELDM's are also $1.15 over H1000/Retumbo. Reloading equipment pays for itself QUICK
@@corymallo581 Yes that cost does not include brass. I consider brass a one time cost for the 338 LM and lump it in with the gun. 100 rounds reloaded 10 times is 1,000 and I don't think I'll ever shoot that much. Even if brass cost you $2.50 a piece and you only get 8 reloads out of it you're only adding about 31 cents.
@@corymallo581 That's awesome! I wish I had the opportunity to shoot that much. The ELR matches in my area are expensive and difficult to get into but are typically less than 40 rounds at a match.
@@corymallo581 He is very close on the reloading cost. I load 300 grain Nosler Custom Competition bullets, Hogden H-1000 powder, CCI primers, and Lapua brass. If I anneal the brass I should get at least 12 cycles out of it and I end up at about $1.50 per round at pre-shortage cost. That load shoots about 0.7 MOA from my rifle.
You are right about not having much recoil. I have a Savage 112 target in 338 Lapua. It feels like shooting a 22. My 300 RUM kicks like a mule. Great video keep up the great work
I had one of these in the older frame, weighed 20 lbs with scope. Took it, an AR-10 and several other rifles out fishing with me. The wind came up and you can guess the rest. The lesson here is don’t fish in California.
Why i bought the 50. Better to have one and not need it... A 50 in one hand and a Bible in the other. No one mentions you can't get the cool rounds in 338. Api, raufoss, incendiary,spotter tracer etc. I'm looking at the Savage in 338 right now.
Barrett M99 .50BMG Remington 700 MLR 338 Lapua Love both of my rifles, I don’t do much of any hunting but they are fun to blast targets with here in Canada. Great video also!
Having owned both (EDM Windrunner M96 and TRG-42) no contest, .338 Lapua for anything but anti-material. You can acquire good .338 Lapua for $3 around, cheap stuff for less. It's just more pleasant to transport, shoot, carry ammo for, etc. Reloading a .338 is MUCH easier and way more cost effective.
Hey brother I’d have to buy the Lapua magnum I couldn’t afford the 50 BMG. I’m happy with my 300 Winchester magnum that’s big enough to take whatever grows with the right bullet. The ones you have there are very very nice now
.300 win mag for this guy all day. I wish I could afford one of the bigger ones as a fun gun. Cool idea for a video... maybe take them both out to a mile ? On a milk jug ?
My 338 is a Savage 110 Precision and I have a TruGlo Eminus 24 (6-24X50) and I only shoot the Hornadt Precision Hunter 270 grain ELDX Ammo and I have hit at 2000 yards with ease, as well as just on a deer hunt with no issues at all.
Have both myself. I find myself shooting the 50 more often. Only because of the fun factor. Has nothing to do with practically. But there are better options above the RN-50 that don’t cost as much as the model 99. Theres the Serbu BFG-50. Bolt action and a good 1500-2000 cheaper than the Barrett model 99. Or the Noreen ULR, about the same price as the BFG-50. If I’m going to creep up toward the 5k mark on a Barrett 99, I’d probably just save a bit more and go all the way into the auto-loading market (think BFG-50a. At the end of the day, shoot whatever works for you and brings a smile to your face
I want them both and I’ll be buying the single shot 50 BMG next year, well I’ll actually be putting my down payment on it in August because it takes a year and and half to build. The 338 I will make a Christmas present to myself I’m in the process of building a 50 Beowulf right now so yeah I’m into the big calibers.
I went through this exact debate some years ago. Ended up with that same savage in 338. Ppu338 at the time was 2.50 a shot and 50 bmg was 5$. Then they swapped for the pandemic. I bought me a case of 50 bmg for 2.25 a round when I seen it go for that. Just to have on the shelf for when I find a deal on a 50 bmg... and happen to have the money to splurge on it. I’ve got faith.
I’m supposed to go with my nephew one day long range shooting. 1,000 yard plus I’m taking my 300 Winchester magnum it will reach out there to a 1,000 yards to no problem
Great video! Seller & Bellot and PPU are some familiar names that make affordable factory ammo for 338 Lapua ($2 to $3 per round). 338 Lapua HSM & Hornady can be purchased for under $3.50 per round.
I just picked up a Barrett 98 Bravo 27" barrel .338 Lapua, and a Trijicon Tenmile 5-50x56 scope. Heading to the range next weekend. Not at all worried about the cost of the ammo, it's one of those things that if you have to ask how much it cost, then you can't afford it anyway.
I'd like to own a 50BMG but my wallet says no, lol. For hunting anything from deer to moose or grizzly, a 45-70 or a 300WM can get the job done. Can be really cheap and get it done with a 12 gauge shotgun. It'll all come down to where the hunt is and the range. If it's for protection, it's hard to beat a lever action 45-70 or a 12 gauge shotgun. Since my wallet is thin, I'm stuck with short range of a shotgun but in no way do I feel under gunned. Good video WTW, thanks for the info and the advice!
There are still Bushmaster BA-50's around for under $5k. They are bolt action, but they come with 2 10 round mags. No complaints on my end. Not idea if Remington will keep making them or not, so my advice is if you can find one and it's what you want, get it while you can.
I have a Blazer R93 LRS2 in 338 LM with a Nightforce NXS 5.5 22 mil Dot reticle I love the rifle and it is a 1/4 MOA rifle. I hand load my ammo Lapua brass with 250gr lapua sceanar With Vita Vouri powder. I have shot 50 BMG also but I prefer the 338LM the 50 is fun for a few shots but the concession is a bit much and nobody will enjoy being next to you with the muzzle brake.
I had both but lost them in a boating accident last winter in West Virginia. My 50bmg was a nice custom single shot upper that used a mil-spec ar-15 lower and didn't require a FFL.
300 win mag is the largest I have . The Browning Mk3 300 win mag is incredibly light recoiling and super accurate, running a leupold VARI-X 3 it is my go to hunting rifle. My Winchester Model 70 Laredo LRH with the Nightforce NXS 5.5-22X50 will reach on out there with .25 moa all day long running the 215 Berger Hybrids. I'd love to have one of the Nemo or Noreen semi auto 300 win mags but I just can't pull the trigger on one 😉.
After carrying both in Iraq and Afghanistan, even tho the 50 causes more damage, due to the weight of the rifle and Ammo, I bought and own a 338 Lapua. To me it’s more realistic and easier to deal with. Both can shoot accurately @ 1.5 miles.
i just returned from a hog hunt with my Noreen ULR 50BMG rifle. shooting Hornady 750 grain A-Max,dropped 7 hogs lined up at a trail of corn. the rifle weighs 35lbs scoped. after my wife shot it a few times she informed me she wants one of her own. and my scope rings are Sightmark heavy duty, $45,and they are great. this rifle has less recoil than a 12 gauge 3.5" magnum and costs $2200. will evidently be buying another for the wife.
338 Lapua is the logical choice. It is a sniper and hunting cartridge with mile range. Puts a 250gr bullets 3000 fps off the muzzle. It is a tactical rifle proven in combat. It is the sniper caliber of the British Army. The cost for a quality 338 Lapua rifle from Savage is in the low $1000.00 range instead of the 5k to 10k dollar range for a quality 50 BMG.
Another thing to think about with the 50bmg is it's considered a destructive device by the ATF ( 50 actually uses a 51 caliber projectile ) which means more fees and tighter regulations some states ban them Make sure you ask your local guns shop about what you can and can't have
I would love to see you try out HSM’s hollowpoint and Lehigh Defense Controlled Chaos ammo for the 50 BMG. I have both that I plan to use for hunting this year. Just to try something different than hornady’s amax or ball ammo. I would love to see a video with either or both to get your opinion.
Who Tee Who.... Thanks for this awesome comparison video. Like you had stated, the decision on which one to get should be based on the intended purpose. The 50 BMG is very expensive, and is the way to go if you are looking at competing in the King of 2 Mile or any other ELR competition. So unless you plan in ELR, then I would suggest you go with the 338 Lapua. Overall cost of just the rifle will be lower depending if you are going to be happy with the basic stock for it, or go with a chassis rig. Next item to consider is ammo cost. Either caliber you are talking big bucks. So consider reloading. Upfront cost to obtain all your reloading equipment is another consideration. I have being looking into all the options, and associated cost and am very happy with my SAVAGE Axis 308.
11 lbs not bad my marauder is 11-12 lbs and with the marauders gear air bottle in my backpack 20+lbs together i squirrel all day in the woods like that :P
who wanna buy a gun you should know the range you will be shooting the average range of your target aka the game big or small also and 1000 yrds is just for fun in the woods no on should be able or hunt a deer ... or anything like this for that range so stay with a .308 or something close and you will be fine don't spend your money guys for nothing because 5 dollars for a bullit for the size the of the .338 that is stealing from the factory they are thieves they should sell the bullets for how much it cost to produce and put a little bit more of profit on it and i'm sure the .338 don't cost as the half of the .50bmg so yeah stay with smaller cal.
That isng how business works,they may not cost a great deal more in materials than something like a .308 but the amount sold is far far less,all the tooling and set up has to be paid for orbit is not financially viable to produce it. It's like with medication ,the first pill costs tens of millions to produce and all the others cost a penny,that first pill still needs to be paid for.
Just picked up a Savage 110 Elite Precision in .338 LM. I hand load for about $1.45 per round. Loading Hornady ELD X 270 gr with 92.0grns H1000. I'm getting over 2900fps and great accuracy at 1000 yards. I did buy one box of Hornady 285gr ELD Match they were $5.20 per round. First and last factory ammo I buy.
I actually on the M 99 and a savage be a stealth. You were correct, 50 BMG is actually cheaper than the .338 Lappula. My latest beats them both, a 416 Rigby. Eight dollars/$12 per round. Crazy. Thanks for the great videos.
I'll pass on the 50 , the Lapua , eh...ok. but like u say , I'll go with my 300 win mag , easier to get the ammo , definitely cheaper then either of those. But if I do get the chance , I found a Lapua I do want.
Don't own either one of them but I love watching you guys fire them! Just for laughs! I would love to see you guys pack some Tannerite in a dryer down range. Over Yonder by big Yeller.
I remember that video of your Wife shooting the 50 Bmg. I think she was a little surprised by the recoil of the 50. It definitely wasnt to bad for someone her size.
50 BMG----the ULTIMATE cordless half in drill!!!Drill anything!Even drains old water heaters!-Thats it---shoot an old FILLED water heater with a 50BMG and see what happens!!And this drill doesn't need batteries or a charger!Save my pennies--would love BOTH the 338 and the BMG!
I got a Savage 338LM LRH I use sierra HPBT 300gr.cost per round is about $2.40 a round.Don't know where you are buying your ammo.I got a bunch of brass that I'm gonna send back and they will reload it for about $1.50 a round. Defiantly a great gun to hunt with I took a deer this past Nov. drop it in its tracks.
That 50 bmg would be great if you were hunting trucks. There's nothing like trying to carry a 35 pound rifle around in the mountains. We have a minimum caliber in my state but I know of no maximum caliber. Why not just get an M1A1 and the 120 mm smooth bore to hunt with. Don't even have to leave home to lob a couple rounds into a heard from several miles away and it will be tenderized already.
So I have the money but the 338 I want is out of stock (of course) I would like to see a video on what is required as far as do you need scope rings hiw beefy does the bipod need to be ect.
I have a 30-30,30-06,5.56x45 nato,and last but not least my latest is my 6.5 grendel upper from BCA.( if anyone is interested I love my BCA upper ) Edit : I’d go with the 338 even though my 30-06 can take down pretty much any big game animal in North America from a buck to a bear or even a moose if I make my own hand loads with 200 grain bullets and some slow burning powder)
I bought the 338 Lapua because no place would allow a 50 BMG, another reason is the 338 is a more accurate round after all the 50 BMG round was made for machine guns Browning Machine Gun I love my 338 dont love the price of the ammo.

Hahaha. Your wife is so cool. I didn't realize just how little she is until I saw her shooting the 50 BMG.
Super cool. I am an above average sized dude so it makes the 50 look small. When she shoots it you can see how big the gun really is 🤣🤣🤣
I couldnt decide...so I have both. I would say if I had to choose just 1 it would be 338LM, it's such a great round with great ballistics.

I don't have either but I do own a 375 Ruger which is about 2-3 bucks a pop. One hard hitting round.
Thanks much for very specific differences in the 2 caliber rifles n such ...good stuff
11 lbs not bad my marauder is 11-12 lbs and with the marauders gear air bottle in my backpack 20+lbs together i squirrel all day in the woods like that :P
Really helpful thanks. I didn't realize the Lapure Ammo cost so much.
Expensive stuff
I loved the Video thanks for posting for me to watch!!
Thanks for watching!
@@WHOTEEWHO which is more flat shooting
Your making quarantine manageable. God bless ya!!!!!!!! Let's go 338
You can buy S&B 338 250gr for $29.99 for a box of 10. I reload the brass for about $1.50 each.
who wanna buy a gun you should know the range you will be shooting the average range of your target aka the game big or small also and 1000 yrds is just for fun in the woods no on should be able or hunt a deer ... or anything like this for that range so stay with a .308 or something close and you will be fine don't spend your money guys for nothing because 5 dollars for a bullit for the size the of the .338 that is stealing from the factory they are thieves they should sell the bullets for how much it cost to produce and put a little bit more of profit on it and i'm sure the .338 don't cost as the half of the .50bmg so yeah stay with smaller cal.
That isng how business works,they may not cost a great deal more in materials than something like a .308 but the amount sold is far far less,all the tooling and set up has to be paid for orbit is not financially viable to produce it.
It's like with medication ,the first pill costs tens of millions to produce and all the others cost a penny,that first pill still needs to be paid for.
Beautiful and Very Informative Presentation. Thank you 🙏
Just picked up a Savage 110 Elite Precision in .338 LM. I hand load for about $1.45 per round. Loading Hornady ELD X 270 gr with 92.0grns H1000. I'm getting over 2900fps and great accuracy at 1000 yards. I did buy one box of Hornady 285gr ELD Match they were $5.20 per round. First and last factory ammo I buy.
👍👍
Thank you for the comparison
Thanks for watching Donald
I actually on the M 99 and a savage be a stealth. You were correct, 50 BMG is actually cheaper than the .338 Lappula. My latest beats them both, a 416 Rigby. Eight dollars/$12 per round. Crazy. Thanks for the great videos.
Shewee!
Awesome video best pew channel on UA-cam without a doubt
Never would have thought .50 ammo would be cheaper than 338 lapua
There surplus ammo for the 50 BMG thats why you can get it cheaper
This won’t hurt my face! No but everything else.
I like the 50 BMG. I am 58 and they are to heavy for me to pick up now always wanted one.
338 Lapua Magnum all day! AR 30.. depending if you want accuracy or not?
I'll pass on the 50 , the Lapua , eh...ok. but like u say , I'll go with my 300 win mag , easier to get the ammo , definitely cheaper then either of those. But if I do get the chance , I found a Lapua I do want.
I've got a .338 RUM. I shoot targets out to 1500yrds with it no issue.
Going to a gun show this weekend in San Marcos, Tx. I think I'm gonna get me a .50
Don't own either one of them but I love watching you guys fire them! Just for laughs! I would love to see you guys pack some Tannerite in a dryer down range. Over Yonder by big Yeller.
Nice rifles; I favor the 338. had my fill of the 50cal auto in the Navy
Another Great WTW video ! I have learned a lot from your channel.
Got ‘em both
It’s gotta be the Barrett .50 for me. I’m actively on the hunt for one
338 Lapua.. one day one day ..
💪💪
Might want to look at the 300win or the new 300prc there nipping at the heels 338lp for more then half the cost🤓
Wow. Good comparison.
Thanks for watching Russell!
I remember that video of your Wife shooting the 50 Bmg. I think she was a little surprised by the recoil of the 50. It definitely wasnt to bad for someone her size.
Bru, @5:47 ……dang that thing is crazy
50 BMG----the ULTIMATE cordless half in drill!!!Drill anything!Even drains old water heaters!-Thats it---shoot an old FILLED water heater with a 50BMG and see what happens!!And this drill doesn't need batteries or a charger!Save my pennies--would love BOTH the 338 and the BMG!
I got a Savage 338LM LRH I use sierra HPBT 300gr.cost per round is about $2.40 a round.Don't know where you are buying your ammo.I got a bunch of brass that I'm gonna send back and they will reload it for about $1.50 a round. Defiantly a great gun to hunt with I took a deer this past Nov. drop it in its tracks.
I hunt with Hornady Precision Hunter ammo. Over $100 for a box of 20 no matter where you go
Both are sure fun to shoot!
Now I'll agree to that!
This guy could kill a Tremmor.
That 50 bmg would be great if you were hunting trucks. There's nothing like trying to carry a 35 pound rifle around in the mountains. We have a minimum caliber in my state but I know of no maximum caliber. Why not just get an M1A1 and the 120 mm smooth bore to hunt with. Don't even have to leave home to lob a couple rounds into a heard from several miles away and it will be tenderized already.
Where are you buying the 50 ammo? Hornady is about $10/rd.
Well said. If Hunting 338 ..but the 50 has anti material rounds slap,api and rufus mk211. I say 50
So I have the money but the 338 I want is out of stock (of course) I would like to see a video on what is required as far as do you need scope rings hiw beefy does the bipod need to be ect.
I’ve never shot a .338 but the fun factor on shorting my .50 BMG is over the top! It’s a great adrenaline rush every time! Lol
I have a 30-30,30-06,5.56x45 nato,and last but not least my latest is my 6.5 grendel upper from BCA.( if anyone is interested I love my BCA upper )
Edit : I’d go with the 338 even though my 30-06 can take down pretty much any big game animal in North America from a buck to a bear or even a moose if I make my own hand loads with 200 grain bullets and some slow burning powder)
I've never shot either one but would like a .50 just for the heck of it. For whitetail hunting, I'm set up good with a 7mm Rem mag. Thanks
Great video who tee who keep up the amazing work and god bless y’all
338 my brother all day
Great video, shocked to hear that 338 ammo is so much more money.
Likewise
A great video thanks for answering the questions keep the great content coming stay safe.👍👍👍🍺😷😷
Bushmaster BA50 is the best choice for lefties, magazine fed bolt action for under $4k
I own a ba stealth in .338 taking it elk hunting next month.
Good luck!
Get both...if you can. That's what I did...and I'm a regular old dude.
Too Funny. I was going to buy a .338 Lapua but I bought a Noreen BN36X3 300 Win Mag and I am glad I did. Cool Video.
Good pick
Hell ye, great decision 👍👍
In Illinogood there's no choice you can't buy anything in .50 cal even in muzzle loader
Buy both!
Do a series on the differences in bullet type. Same caliber but HP vs SP vs FMJ.
I bought the 338 Lapua because no place would allow a 50 BMG, another reason is the 338 is a more accurate round after all the 50 BMG round was made for machine guns Browning Machine Gun I love my 338 dont love the price of the ammo.
