Pre-64, LS Lothar Walther, 22", stock scrapped back matte oiled finish, rebedded, metal-work smoothed out & reblued(matte), mag-box opened up, trigger tweaked, Williams one-piece floorplate & triggerguard, Pachmayr, Leupold QR bases, low rings & Vx11 2-7x33.




You're laughing with the long mag box. Should be able to load any .338 bullet up to at least 250gr, without losing case capacity.

Nice setup!


Hopefully I get a 3" mag-box, but I also must make sure the throat gels.
Should be a real little performer if all goes to plan.
I will also try a 250gr Woodleigh. This combo is getting 2481fps out of the Ruger HE from reports. 47gr of Varget or IMR4064 with a compressed load.

ALWAYS START AT LEAST 10% LOWER! Every rifle is different.
