Custom .338 Federal (pic heavy) * RANGE REPORT *

.30-06, but it is a moot point with these rifles, as they are all long actions.
hey that ain't bad. Should be able to cook some good loads up with that long OAL. I'm thinking 2500 fps with 225's!ain't not much wrong with that
That was the intention for this project, 225 @ 2500...

They are all long actions, but the mags are different. The mags for "short" cartridges have a block in them to keep the ammo from sliding back and forth.

Yes, but even the .308 mag will take my .338 loads seated at 2.95", and I still have another .075" of room...
If I had another barrel lug, it would be real easy to do up a switch barrel rifle. You could have one barrel chambered for .35 whelen, 9.3x62 or .338-06, and have the other one chambered for .22-250, .243 or .257 roberts...takes about 2 minutes to change barrels...

Awesome set up!! Not a huge fan of the pump shotgun but yours is quite nice~
Mat leave is boring!! Baby will be here in the next few days so I'll have something then to keep me busy! lol
Went out today to break in the FED...Shooting pretty good for an old pump rifle. Hats off to Epps for the work, and Douglas for the barrel...
