You mind sharing generally what your cost per round is for 338 and what the main components of that cost are? Totally understand that you’re likely loading for accuracy > cost effectiveness (which is what I do with my 6.5 Creed as well), just curious what reloading costs are like vs factory match ammo.

Just found this channel! I’m gonna have to try this range some day!
Holy crap that was amazing. Everyone who does a lot of shooting knows that feeling of the seriousness of shooting an expensive setup and ammo. My teenage boys are still in the stage where the loudest noises and hardest recoil impress them. I'm moving into the stage where I enjoy the process/break from the daily grind and a break from the $1-$2 trigger pulls of the 308. I'm going to shoot tomorrow and I may just bring a 16" AR and shoot 5.56. But man, that 308 is a really nice gun.
Nice, controlled marksmanship. Surprised at how flat those rounds got to target up to 600. Really enjoy the channel and looking forward to all the new planned content. Best wishes from across the pond.
Been shooting a Savage 338LM since around 2009. She has been my favorite to work with and can just about reach anything, but the round has it's difficulties. It is always a learning curve on reloading and rifle maintenance. I still learn some little things once in a while about this round. Savage amazingly has been the best for repairs and service, they have re-barreled it and did other work at very low or no cost to me. The company has been very easy to deal with and this has kept me always coming back to them. Sadly most competitions I use to shoot aren't allowing this caliber and I've since moved to smaller rifle calibers, but I still use this rifle as my go to for private ranges where I can open her up to 1,600M. I love the long distance relationships I've made over the years with this round and will continue as long as I can still get powder :) Just a note: I always enjoy your videos, but was wondering if you guys have considered calling out or listing the DOPE.
Huge props for pointing out that with good technique you can spot something much more powerful than modern gamer gun cartridges (in much heavier gamer rifles).
Hi Henry and Josh. I would love to see you guys do a .50bmg series,start at 600 and go out to 1500 (if you find a range/ property that is) Have a DTA HTI,Barretts,Accuracy internationals etc etc.i understand it would require alot of begging and borrowing but still would be cool. Cheers Rob
To piggyback on that, I’d honestly love to see a long range video that compares the .50 BMG to .416 Barrett. I have to give the company kido’s for taking CA’s BS about how “nobody needs a .50 BMG” and have the ingenuity to create a ballistically superior round as a result. 😂
"We're never going to financially recover from this" 🤣 ...worth it. Awesome video dudes. I think I've just been convinced to join patreon. Your guy's reviews, performance trials, and breakdowns have been extremely helpful. Least I can do is show a little appreciation. Fun as always gents.
Great video. I'm out west. We shoot out to ridiculous distances off the back deck of our ranch. One of my buddies loves them barrel burner calibers. Loves reloading for them also. Heat shift is a thing. No need to burn an awesome machine to display that to us the audience.
I saw an SRS in 338 in a youtube video when I was a kid who knew nothing about guns and thought it was just the coolest thing ever. Of course at these distances with this ammo and this level of rifle it's going to perform, but I still feel that my inner child has recieved some validation with this.
Totally agree on this spotting misses crap. Most people are just parroting PRS shooters. You only need a 24 lb 6mm to spot misses if you are free recoiling it off a rickety stage prop.
Shot a candex 50 and the 300win and both desert Tec platforms and for a Utah guy I love the desert tec. We’ve taken the 50 from desert tec coyote hunting. Ain’t no way we hauling any other 50
The 338 actually has a little less ft/lbs energy at 800 yards compared to a 308 at 100 yards. They are about equal with 300 LM at 700 yards to 308 at 100 yards. It still rocked the targets at all ranges though. It's a lot of mass hitting that steel.
@@RARufus Kinetic energy (1/2 * mass * velocity^2) against hardened plates just splatters the bullets harder. What swings plates is momentum (mass * velocity), giving the 338 LM more of an advantage than energy predicts.
I recently paid 200 bucks for 100 rounds of 45/70 period ammunition for my 1884 Springfield infantry rifle. It doesnt use modern 45/70 ammo, because the cartridge expands and you need a dowel rod to push it out down the barrel. The period ammo doesnt have this problem, it ejects just fine. By the way, I need a small loan.....

Folks that don't drink Starbucks shouldn't comment on it as they are normally wrong. An X-large(Venti) coffee at SB is about $2.85 but will vary according to area. Sbs XL coffee is about 10 to 15 more than the local chain convenience store. With the machines they have now they brew the cup when you order, it's not 2 hours old. I don't drink it at the store often but brew it at home everyday. Oh the Desert Tech ROCKS. I got to shoot one several years ago and the .300 is also no slouch
From what I've heard from different interviews with Ukrainian snipes, 338 LM is the main caliber for long range (1000m+). 308 is mostly for DMR or closer engagements. Of course it's not a rule and depends on many factors. Also, recently custom rifles from Cadex in 375 CT were issued to extend confident engagement range to ~2000m
I own an SRS and an MDR and I can say that they both function better in their full capability configurations. The "sub cal" configurations (especially the SRS magazines) work less well as they just weld a plate in the back of the mag to length. They work, but not as well as they do in 338. For me, the SRS always shoots better suppressed.
Pro shooting as always. Id like to requst a round with h the timber wolf, a precision rifle made by Prairie Gun Works from Manitoba Canada. It beat A.I. in the British sniper rifle showdown, but lost being adopted due to political reasons.
Yeah.. and even our Liberals went with the TRG M10 and Colt M20 .because only Colt and foreigners can get DND contracts, heaven forbid they contract a small independent builder.
You could run the 1000yd course with with a unknown rifle and unknown dope using only quickdrop formula. I run a trg42 in 338 rebarreled to 30" myself. Appreciate the effort and the 25rnd string on the dta.
@@manofchaitea6904 You damn Americans have no idea how good you have it. .308 in the Great White North is three bucks a pop, and it's hard to find a half sack for less than 12.
I had thought that 338 LM was big, but then I saw an article about the .373 EnAbler. With 90% of its long bullet sticking out of the case, it looked cartoonish!
I’ve been working on a Mk13 Mod 3 Chris Kyle clone for a while. Got the stock, recoil lug, mirs rev b just gotta get the barrel and receiver and it will be ready to be built. Once it’s back gotta get the rings and NF scope
Living in Harris county limits my long range practice to American Shooting Center. IT is a good range and not too far from me... 308 is my largest modern smokeless, cough cough,,, wheeze...
The Desert Tech 338 looks like a great setup! I have an AR-50 that while it is VERY accurate...it's also VERY heavy (37 lbs) and totally front heavy so it's a Royal Bitch to move around. The 338 is a nice compromise of power while still being portable...and would be my choice if doing anything but stationary shooting. Good shooting Henry!!!

Those Patrons of Patreon ads are brilliant. Bird watching with my M24 sniper system. Thanks for the laugh.
Have you guys ever thought about putting a ballistics dummy out at 700+ yards? It would be interesting to see what these do at those ranges
Basic rule of thumb is the energy from a .338LM at 600 is the same plus a little more than a .308 at the muzzle.
As someone who has owned a .338, I can relate to that opening statement
2 FUCKING HEADSHOTS BACK TO BACK AT 1000 YARDS!! Stacked them on top of each other back to back headshots incredible shooting man.
I handload .338 for under $1.25 round. Lapua Brass, 300 Scenar (250 Berger for my 18" barrel), Viht N570 and 215M primers.
Ending with two perfect head shots at 1k is beautiful
That was amazing indeed 👍
Even at 1,000 yards, the .338 still hit with "authority".
One of my 338 loads with the same Hornady 285 gn eldm has about 2500 ft lbs of energy at 1k or like a 308 at the muzzle
With .338 he should shoot 1500m to prove/test anything. 1000m with .338 is like 200m with an M4 ..

Of course it's not a rule and depends on many factors. Also, recently custom rifles from Cadex in 375 CT were issued to extend confident engagement range to ~2000m
I own an SRS and an MDR and I can say that they both function better in their full capability configurations. The "sub cal" configurations (especially the SRS magazines) work less well as they just weld a plate in the back of the mag to length. They work, but not as well as they do in 338. For me, the SRS always shoots better suppressed.
Would b interested in seeing either a Maadi ARM or an Eddystone M1917 Enfield in the PA/Speedway course.
Bullpups just look so gawd damn slick😍
nice shoot
Those two final shoots!!!
Pro shooting as always. Id like to requst a round with h the timber wolf, a precision rifle made by Prairie Gun Works from Manitoba Canada. It beat A.I. in the British sniper rifle showdown, but lost being adopted due to political reasons.
Yeah.. and even our Liberals went with the TRG M10 and Colt M20 .because only Colt and foreigners can get DND contracts, heaven forbid they contract a small independent builder.
those black hills boys must be using some mega high quality propellant. i did not see any smoke or flash coming from the muzzle at all.
You could run the 1000yd course with with a unknown rifle and unknown dope using only quickdrop formula. I run a trg42 in 338 rebarreled to 30" myself. Appreciate the effort and the 25rnd string on the dta.
Thanks, guys.
That's cool that you guys got Guga, from Guga Foods to do that voice-over intro.
I've have one in 375 chey... and I love it.
My wallet weeps for you guys. I get upset when anything is $1/per rd I can't imagine $5, you better not miss! 😂
Yep, its a 6 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon per shot.
@@manofchaitea6904 You damn Americans have no idea how good you have it. .308 in the Great White North is three bucks a pop, and it's hard to find a half sack for less than 12.
I had thought that 338 LM was big, but then I saw an article about the .373 EnAbler. With 90% of its long bullet sticking out of the case, it looked cartoonish!
I would love to see the AI AXMC on the channel!
oh boy you'll be happy to find out what Josh just bought.
@@9HoleReviews I cannot wait to see an AXSR put through its paces!
You should do the Texas plinking challenge with the desert tech 338
I’ve been working on a Mk13 Mod 3 Chris Kyle clone for a while. Got the stock, recoil lug, mirs rev b just gotta get the barrel and receiver and it will be ready to be built. Once it’s back gotta get the rings and NF scope
Living in Harris county limits my long range practice to American Shooting Center. IT is a good range and not too far from me... 308 is my largest modern smokeless, cough cough,,, wheeze...
The Desert Tech 338 looks like a great setup! I have an AR-50 that while it is VERY accurate...it's also VERY heavy (37 lbs) and totally front heavy so it's a Royal Bitch to move around. The 338 is a nice compromise of power while still being portable...and would be my choice if doing anything but stationary shooting. Good shooting Henry!!!
When you own a setup like that, the bullet cost is negligible compared to everything else. Very nice though
Always good stuff...
I love this caliber
Headshot at 1000 is crazy!!
You guys should both do the Texas Plinking 1 moa 1k challenge.
Man that round slaps. You take a throat shot at 1000. Endex.
From a purely aesthetic perspective, I love the design of the SRS rifles.
"Imagine taking that 285gr 338 Lapua to the neck."
"It would be quite painful..."
Dang. That Texas wind was really trying to make you waste a couple of 'top shelf' mixed drinks...
💲🍸💲🍸
this is awesome timing!!! i just did the same course of fire to 1200 today with my Barrett mrad, 300 Norma. with no misses
Henry & Josh, if you want a 1/7 twist AUG barrel for testing either a 16 or 24 let me know.
