Careful ammunition tuning is exactly what I'm working on right now. I still shoot a 26" barrel and am hesitant to lop it off lest I reduce my muzzle velocity to not much more than a .338 win., in wich case I may as well have bought the .338 win. and saved a little coin on brass. However I don't think Jarman reloads (factory .338 R.U.M ammo is extremely spendy) so he may need to take the faster track to tightening up his groups. Plus if he is going to add an actual brake he'll need to cut off the magna-ports anyway. Longrifles, is that a U.S.M.C expert badge I see in the photo?
