Methinks summary is new monolithic bullets have great flight potential but you really need a new Higher twist barrel (6:1 in .338) to take full advantage of them.

That 338 is garbage. You should probably just sell it to me and buy a better one. :chuckle:

every time I shoot this thing I remember all the folks that scoffed at the idea of hand reaming the chamber, I just can’t stop smiling.

It's been confusing to me deciding what scope to use on a particular .338 caliber rifle, do any of you have any experience with this scope?

I'm wondering what you consider to be the pros and cons of this scope?

Personally I have never looked threw one but I’ve never been a fan of ballistic compensation turrets.  Conditions just change too much. Under 600 yards it’s prob not much but beyond that I’ll take moa or mil.  Jmo

I guess that's one way I get a little lost, I don't know the difference between turrets, what is the difference between "ballistic compensation turrets" and others? Do you mean because they are .33 instead of .25 per click?
