Alrighty fellers …I have uploaded a video for you guys on all documented chronographed results of my 8" .338 Federal SBR …Please leave comments and i Hope you enjoy.
A guy in his undies talking about a build, now I’ve seen it all.
Its the only way to do it sometimes ![]()
Looks pretty sweet man! That first sun shield hit looks more like a 180gr Nosler “muzzle blast” impact. ![]()
Thanx for looking and i am glad you like it…Yes the first shot was the 180gr nosler accubonds…
I am inspired to build a .338 SBR over the winter.
I am glad my video has inspired you…i promise that you wont be disappointed with your results
Have you been able to see what kind of groups you are getting? I know some people don’t care during break in, just thought I’d ask.
Ill post a video soon …between 50-100 yards… Its been raining here everyday… as soon as the sun peeps out ill take her out back to the range and do accuracy testing and report back here…
It’s definitely cool for the crowd that bought uppers to run the 50 Beowulf, other than that niche circle I don’t see the point. Personal opinion obviously, and no negativity towards you. Nice video though.
50beowulf? thanx for commenting but my video is based off of my 338 federal in an AR10 platform
No problem “Vepr Beowulf”. I was saying an AR chambered in .338 is more akin to the 50 Beowulf than I viewed it as similar to the AR10 platform. YMMV clearly. I watched your video, and it was not my intention to drag negativity into your thread.
Next step: .338 Lapua SBR.![]()
I was considering doing a .308 SBR a while back, but was talked out of it, and don’t really regret it, as the downsides of the size, cost, and weight of the rifle and ammo didn’t appeal to me as much as that of the .300 BLK. (Yes, I know .300 BLK ammo isn’t as available and requires reloading if you intend to shoot a lot).
I still think an SBR in a full size cartridge is cool as hell, but I don’t see myself doing one.
OP, I was expecting the velocities to be lower, to be honest. Cool build!
300blk is a great cartridge especially suppressed with subsonic loads…The .308 is the same type of bullet as the 300blk but with more horsepower…I was considering building either a 308 or a 358win in an sbr at first but the 338 fed had more potential in velocity over both of them using an 8" barrel thus one of the biggest reasons why i went that route…So far i have no regrets…I believe i found a good powerful compact rifle that will be able to handle most of north americas largest game at a close range…If you ever decide to go that route i would recommend looking into the wide variaty of reloadable bullets that are available for the .338 caliber…there is alot to choose from…Thanx again for commenting and im glad you liked the video…
Ok fellers…Heading to the range soon to do some accuracy and distance testing… Will report back here later tonight
