got a dpms lr-308 that is just the basic model from dpms. I am looking at converting this rifle and i think i want to convert it to a 338 federal cartridge. This seems like an enticing round and should have a good knock down. I have not made up my mind yet on this subject. I am looking for something big and good for long range. I've seen the 50 beowulf or something like that but it sure seems like that aint much of a long range cartridge. If anyone has any suggestions as to what other calibers that this ar-10 could be turned into that would be 338 or larger that is what im interested in i want the biggest thing i can make out of this.
I am under the assumption that i may only need to change the barrel to become a .338 federal. The only thing i am unsure of is if the upper reciever is strong enough for the pressures. I dont see why it wouldn't be seeing as how it is only a necked up 308. Thanks in advance to all.
