[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2558685, member: 14204"] I saw your concern about having longer COAL in your other post. The .338 LM needs near the 4" COAL range to take advantage of those long high BC bullets. This requirement is one of the reasons I am building a .338 NMI instead. [ATTACH type="full"]373969[/ATTACH] My SAKO M995 in .300 WM propels the 190 Berger VLD at 3043 FPS with a COAL of 3.62," and the only reason I am not going heavier is that it has a 1:11" barrel twist. On the other hand, my .300 WSM propels the 215 Berger at 2850 FPS. Both are no slouch up to 1KY. Your .300 WBY should be able to push the 215s faster than my .300 WSM. [/QUOTE]
