About 1000.   Shoots fair still - hard to tell nodes with speed variation but less than 3" group at 300.  All have been pushed pretty hard - Lapua brass 65k. 

Lapua brass for a 338-378 ???

Sorry - I’m shooting two rifles per outing.  One is factory bedded 338-378 that is shooting great -  3” verticles, 10” groups at 966 yards.   Can’t expect much more. 

The other is custom 338 Lapua with Carbon barrel that has recently gone to junk.   Think Jasnt’s right - time for new barrel.

Maybe time for 33xc.  For $40 you could rent the reamer from sss.  300gr at 3150

Trying to stay under 10.5 # and still shoot 20 rounds comfortably.    That 33xc performance is impressive.

Yep.  One season in the Blues a few years ago I realized some opportunities can only be reached with a LR setup.  Has worked out well.
