I got a set of 338BR dies from CH4D about 3 weeks back...they said it was the last set in stock. I also got what they said was the last set of 510W dies in stock. They have a set of 300 W dies in progress and I've got a set of those on backorder.
PTG didn't have any reamers in stock for the .338 or the 510 so I had to special order. The 338 reamer came in last week and they said the 510 is a couple weeks off. The reamer looks great.
Now I just need my rifle to show up, it just got bumped another 30 days. Also still looking for blanks. I'd really like a Lilja stainless but he doesn't do the twist rate I need for the 338 BR or the 510. Looks like PacNor is about the only ones who do the faster twists in both of those. Last problem is finding the 7BR brass....its seasonal production and it looks like Remington is about it for supply. Anyone found another supplier???
I'm building up barrels in both cals for a Desert Tactical SRS. Its coming in 338 lapua and I'll have to buy the bolt for the 243/308 to have the setup for the 338BR. I'm thinking a swap barrel rifle will be nice to have in order to keep the trigger, scope and feel the same and just have to deal with different dope in the scope.
