Hows the performance on game and recoil?

I’ve been pleased with it. Recoil is stiff but not unbearable, it’s right at 5 pounds naked and under 6 scoped.

How about the Hammers? I have some 186 Shock Hammers on the way for my 338 Fed.

Two kills with the hammers so far, one with the 205s from the 338 and one with 155s from my 280ai. Very pleased with both.

Thats what I'm looking into as well. Running a 186 hammer or 175 CE. Would be really cool if Steve would turn out a 338 absolute hammer in the 180 weight class. Would be interesting to see what a guy could get for velocity, not having to worry too much about sectional density with a copper. Im getting 2950 with the 154 absolute in my 7/08 and guys are getting close to 3200 with the 151 absolutes in 30/06s. Imagine you could get close or over 3000 with the 338 version.
