330 BRAR
Any ideas on a 338-30 RAR?
I dubbed it the 330 BRAR for ease of conversion of barrel name and headstamp

Basically a 30 thou fatter case and fatter bullet than the 30 BR but same dimensions of the 30 RAR but necked up to 338

Was thinking a good 338 federal donor rifle conversion since it has a 338 barrel* and a .470 rim and seat out the 250 or 300 grain long target 338 bullets to the 2.9 or 3" magazine length or the lighter 160 grain TTSX for hunting.

The 30 RAR gets 125-grain bullet to achieve a muzzle velocity of 2,800 fps so a 160 338 bullet should eek out at about 2,600 fps. Not too shabby. Maybe push the 250 Lapua scenars @ 1,900 fps and 300's @ 1,600 fps for unlimited weight category of shooting.







* obviously any 308 family of cart guns would for a donor gun and a lot of people who shoot target shooting would want a say 26 or 28 inch barrel.

Hmmm... AR10 conversion?
