🥇[.338 Lapua Mag] Desert Tech SRS M2 to 1,000yds: Practical Accuracy 

The cost of ammo instilled the fear of missing 😂

I think there's a reason the last range I was signed up with wouldn't allow .338 on anything shorter than their 700 yard range.

The best thing about 338 Lapua . . . you get very good because you *_CANNOT AFFORD_* to miss

The grouping at 1000m was insane.

“We’re never gonna financially recover from this…”. As an avid elr shooter with a 338 LM. I understand whole heartedly, even reloading hurts.

This episode contains: comparison of ammunition cost to fast food prices Brisk bolt cycling after perfect 1000 yard shots And has been rated by the MPAA as *Violently American,* suitable for all (im)mature audiences.

Henry looking like Gollum grabbing that brass the moment it ejects. My precious…

I'd say for magnum rifle cartridges, just start at 300yds

Can we see you do the 1000yrd challenge on the texas plinking challenge? We believe in you!!!

I agree, for modern, magnum precision rifles, there's no point starting at 100yds. I would start at 300 or 400.

That was some great shooting. The rifle is great but the shooter makes all the difference. Always been a fan of this channel. These guys are professionals.

Shooting about a 8 inch group at 1000 yard, with a hot barrel, that's really impressive

Have you guys ever thought about putting a ballistics dummy out at 700+ yards? It would be interesting to see what these do at those ranges

As someone who has owned a .338, I can relate to that opening statement

Ending with two perfect head shots at 1k is beautiful

Those Patrons of Patreon ads are brilliant. Bird watching with my M24 sniper system. Thanks for the laugh.

I handload .338 for under $1.25 round. Lapua Brass, 300 Scenar (250 Berger for my 18" barrel), Viht N570 and 215M primers.

Henry, my man. The gun is only as good as the shooter. Awesome job team.

Those price references were priceless.

$5/round really brought out the Asian in Henry 😂😂

Even at 1,000 yards, the .338 still hit with "authority".

2 FUCKING HEADSHOTS BACK TO BACK AT 1000 YARDS!! Stacked them on top of each other back to back headshots incredible shooting man.

Been shooting a Savage 338LM since around 2009. She has been my favorite to work with and can just about reach anything, but the round has it's difficulties. It is always a learning curve on reloading and rifle maintenance. I still learn some little things once in a while about this round. Savage amazingly has been the best for repairs and service, they have re-barreled it and did other work at very low or no cost to me. The company has been very easy to deal with and this has kept me always coming back to them. Sadly most competitions I use to shoot aren't allowing this caliber and I've since moved to smaller rifle calibers, but I still use this rifle as my go to for private ranges where I can open her up to 1,600M. I love the long distance relationships I've made over the years with this round and will continue as long as I can still get powder :) Just a note: I always enjoy your videos, but was wondering if you guys have considered calling out or listing the DOPE.

Desert Tech is awesome.

Would be interesting to see you guys make an appearance on an episode of 1 MOA at 1,000 yards challenge on Texas Plinking channel! Maybe not fair to other competitors but would definitely watch.

Great shooting guys! I'd really enjoy it if you did a comparison of the 300 magnums, WM, Norma, and PRC. A battle if you will. It would also be great if you could find a range that let's you go out to 2000 yds to really highlight the bigger cartridges.

According to a previous Desert Tech machinist, this was the only gun he would ever get from them. The team working the the SRS truly care about their system is what he said.

Really great video. It is nice to see Chris Kyle's favorite round validated without me personally spending $5.00 per round. You guys rock!

I shot my .338 lapua out to 1800yrds at triple C before it closed and I miss that course I live in Dallas 😭 .338 I use a 300 grain bullet from S&B and it’s great against dealing with wind and even in tall grass the splash is so good I hit 1800 yards correcting my own dope and once I hit 1600 I just would hold in my scope for 1700 and 1800🎉 love this! Just found this channel! I’m gonna have to try this range some day!

Head shot at 1000 yards !?!!! that's crazy. And congratulation for 0 missing shot.

I love the quality of the shooting and discussion here. Thanks for putting out really quality content for shooters.

Huge props for pointing out that with good technique you can spot something much more powerful than modern gamer gun cartridges (in much heavier gamer rifles).

😮Dude you can see the shock wave of the bullet as it arcs through the air!!! 😮

Holy crap that was amazing. Everyone who does a lot of shooting knows that feeling of the seriousness of shooting an expensive setup and ammo. My teenage boys are still in the stage where the loudest noises and hardest recoil impress them. I'm moving into the stage where I enjoy the process/break from the daily grind and a break from the $1-$2 trigger pulls of the 308. I'm going to shoot tomorrow and I may just bring a 16" AR and shoot 5.56. But man, that 308 is a really nice gun.

Nice, controlled marksmanship. Surprised at how flat those rounds got to target up to 600. Really enjoy the channel and looking forward to all the new planned content. Best wishes from across the pond.

My god this man can shoot We are in awe.

Oh my, I soo wanted there to be camera and mic at a 1000 yards to hear the impact of that 338 hitting the steel 😃

Think this was the most expensive run yet lol. Great work guys

Great video. I'm out west. We shoot out to ridiculous distances off the back deck of our ranch. One of my buddies loves them barrel burner calibers. Loves reloading for them also. Heat shift is a thing. No need to burn an awesome machine to display that to us the audience.

9-hole you should do a collab with mountain,mullet,merica. Would be sick dinging target a mile away on a moutainsides

Finally. I've been waiting for 338 to enter the range. It feels like forever

Nice to see companies following their products 20:40

Hi Henry and Josh. I would love to see you guys do a .50bmg series,start at 600 and go out to 1500 (if you find a range/ property that is) Have a DTA HTI,Barretts,Accuracy internationals etc etc.i understand it would require alot of begging and borrowing but still would be cool. Cheers Rob

"Imagine taking that 285gr 338 Lapua to the neck." "It would be quite painful..."

I use the poor man's 338LM, Savage 110 in an HS Precision stock. Thank God I reload, 285 ELD-M on top of 89.0 H1000. I felt that run in my wallet

I saw an SRS in 338 in a youtube video when I was a kid who knew nothing about guns and thought it was just the coolest thing ever. Of course at these distances with this ammo and this level of rifle it's going to perform, but I still feel that my inner child has recieved some validation with this.

"We're never going to financially recover from this" 🤣 ...worth it. Awesome video dudes. I think I've just been convinced to join patreon. Your guy's reviews, performance trials, and breakdowns have been extremely helpful. Least I can do is show a little appreciation. Fun as always gents.

Great shooting Henry! I have bought a lot of your products. Great quality. And service.

the way 338 hits at 800y with more force than a 308 at 100y

I'm glad you started with the cost of each round. Then the snarky comments with each shot is fun!

Totally agree on this spotting misses crap. Most people are just parroting PRS shooters. You only need a 24 lb 6mm to spot misses if you are free recoiling it off a rickety stage prop.

"Were never gonna financially recover from this" while holding brass. The SRS is $5k without an optic 😂

My wallet weeps for you guys. I get upset when anything is $1/per rd I can't imagine $5, you better not miss! 😂

Looked like you may have stacked those hits at 1000! 💪🏼👊🏼

Shot a candex 50 and the 300win and both desert Tec platforms and for a Utah guy I love the desert tec. We’ve taken the 50 from desert tec coyote hunting. Ain’t no way we hauling any other 50

Having shot a friend's 338LM. It smacks steel so hard! Watching other people miss, makes the wallet cry.

Now this is some good news for Desert Tech. Slowly but surely making a name for themselves.

Love this channel

Righteous shots Henry.

“It would be most unfortunate.” - Ha yeah…to say the least. Those impacts hit different. Keep up the good work! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

From a purely aesthetic perspective, I love the design of the SRS rifles.

Henry you dam near stacked those last 2 shoots at 1,000 in the top portion of the target 🤙

outstanding shooting and weapon performance

Proper heat test where you relax/relive stress in the barrel and then cryogenically treat the barrel helps to remove a lot of heat stringing issues.

I would love to see the AI AXMC on the channel!

Ive never clicked so fast

I have a gen-1 Srs with an old school us optics sn9. Absolutely love it 338 and 308 fun fun… 300g scenar w/H1000 215m

I own an SRS and an MDR and I can say that they both function better in their full capability configurations. The "sub cal" configurations (especially the SRS magazines) work less well as they just weld a plate in the back of the mag to length. They work, but not as well as they do in 338. For me, the SRS always shoots better suppressed.

Folks that don't drink Starbucks shouldn't comment on it as they are normally wrong. An X-large(Venti) coffee at SB is about $2.85 but will vary according to area. Sbs XL coffee is about 10 to 15 more than the local chain convenience store. With the machines they have now they brew the cup when you order, it's not 2 hours old. I don't drink it at the store often but brew it at home everyday. Oh the Desert Tech ROCKS. I got to shoot one several years ago and the .300 is also no slouch

Another good one guys, keep them rolling!

Pro shooting as always. Id like to requst a round with h the timber wolf, a precision rifle made by Prairie Gun Works from Manitoba Canada. It beat A.I. in the British sniper rifle showdown, but lost being adopted due to political reasons.

From what I've heard from different interviews with Ukrainian snipes, 338 LM is the main caliber for long range (1000m+). 308 is mostly for DMR or closer engagements. Of course it's not a rule and depends on many factors. Also, recently custom rifles from Cadex in 375 CT were issued to extend confident engagement range to ~2000m

Finally, some magnums I really want to see head to heads between the calibers at range

You could run the 1000yd course with with a unknown rifle and unknown dope using only quickdrop formula. I run a trg42 in 338 rebarreled to 30" myself. Appreciate the effort and the 25rnd string on the dta.

You should do the Texas plinking challenge with the desert tech 338

Love how you can see bulet flying

AAAAHHHHHHH I want one

The Desert Tech 338 looks like a great setup! I have an AR-50 that while it is VERY accurate...it's also VERY heavy (37 lbs) and totally front heavy so it's a Royal Bitch to move around. The 338 is a nice compromise of power while still being portable...and would be my choice if doing anything but stationary shooting. Good shooting Henry!!!

Bullpups just look so gawd damn slick😍

Perfect episode. Thank you. Small typo noticed: length is 1003.3 in mm

You guys should both do the Texas Plinking 1 moa 1k challenge.

Another great video. I would love to see a 9-Hole review of the Sako M10 (new Canadian sniper system) and how it compares to the AI and other systems

Heart, Liver. Dead eye. Nice video.

I've have one in 375 chey... and I love it.

I recently paid 200 bucks for 100 rounds of 45/70 period ammunition for my 1884 Springfield infantry rifle. It doesnt use modern 45/70 ammo, because the cartridge expands and you need a dowel rod to push it out down the barrel. The period ammo doesnt have this problem, it ejects just fine. By the way, I need a small loan.....

nice shoot

I love the into music on your channel.... reminds me a bit of the GTA 4 into music. Impressive run by the way, though you gave it plenty of time to cool I think.

those black hills boys must be using some mega high quality propellant. i did not see any smoke or flash coming from the muzzle at all.

Dang. That Texas wind was really trying to make you waste a couple of 'top shelf' mixed drinks... 💲🍸💲🍸

26:51 The only time I ever laughed at Jack Black

“The king… for now” eh? Do we get to see the new shiny get all dirty and smoky soon? There’s a certain amount of fun watching Henry try to get SMGs and PDWs to hit out at range but I must admit that this kind of thing is very satisfying even if it’s not that much of a challenge. More please.

It’s a good thing that rifle can do mutiple calibers just by changing the barrel, mag and bolt.

I love this caliber

Those two final shoots!!!

The Desert Tech is the king of bullpup rifles.

That's cool that you guys got Guga, from Guga Foods to do that voice-over intro.

Would b interested in seeing either a Maadi ARM or an Eddystone M1917 Enfield in the PA/Speedway course.

Thanks, guys.

I had thought that 338 LM was big, but then I saw an article about the .373 EnAbler. With 90% of its long bullet sticking out of the case, it looked cartoonish!

The amount of time it took for the sound of steel being hit to travel back is wild.
