Realize I'm late to the party here, and I'm just spitballing, while I don't have a .338 Specter to try this with, I'd imagine you could make brass from 400 legend, and it may be a wise move to come up with load data and case trimming instructions for that to potentially pull more people in from the 6.8 SPC and 400 legend crowd who would be looking for their 300blk out equivalent off of that case.

all you need is a 6.8spc bolt and a 338 spectre barrel. Nothing else needs to be special. Usually a 1:6.5 twist barrel--and length would be similar to 300 blk.

Damn, now I might have to get a 338 spectre upper. On a slightly different note, what hand guard are you using on your AR pistol? I'm thinking about making the 300 blk upper I'm currently working on look kind of like an mp5 SD and that would be perfect.

They are inexpensive and allow you to have the suppressor beneath the handguard, but you can unscrew the handguard easily if you need access to the muzzle threads. Just make sure you don't have the muzzle hidden underneath without something to extend it beyond the handguard

What kind of grouping do you get at 100yards and at that speed? I cast .416 NOE bullets and powder coat them too. As soon as I go over 1200 ft/sec, the groups go all over the place. Just wonder, if you can get yours to group decently at around 1000 ft/sec?
@FullLeadTaco
6 ай бұрын
I'll have to try to remember to get some groups, usually these days I don't try shooting groups with red dots at 100 yards because my eyesight is getting "not so great as before." Scopes make it nice for shooting groups at farther distances, but I use this cartridge as a plinker. With a different cast bullet I made and loaded, we were playing around and lobbing them out at longer distances with consistent success. I'll have to see if I can find that video--it's a bit older. The 338 bullets seem to do well at subsonic velocities and maintaining accuracy. What alloy are you using for your 416 bullets?
@stefanschug5490
6 ай бұрын
Just wheel weights, BHN is about 10! The advantage with your shell is, that you have probably more even ignition of the small amounts of fast burning powders. I have to use fillers or black powder in my .416 Taylor. With powder coating and gas check my best groups are about 2" at 100 yards if I keep speeds below 1200 ft/sec.@@FullLeadTaco
