[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2372565, member: 10755"] Realistically, the 338WM is limited by velocity, it’s limitation therefore is hitting power. The highest BC bullet it can push to reach 1000 and still have the punch for Elk is the 265g ABLR. Now, I have used these in both the 338WM, 338Edge and my own 338-416 Rigby Improved cartridge. They work right down to the 1300fps threshold where expansion is at it’s lowest. In my 338-416 Rigby Improved, all bullets are HBN coated which gives me around 100fps more velocity and the ABLR inside 600 was truly a bomb and destroyed shoulders to bloodshot mush. Now, in the 338WM, it works a treat and is still enough for Elk to 1000, but not much passed that and you need to push them as fast as you can. A 24” barrel is gonna be down a bit, but still doable. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
