[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 601040, member: 9281"] If I was going to go .338 edge I personally would want at least a 30" tube, probably more like 32" to get the most velocity possible pushing that big 300 grainer. I currently have a 27 inch 300RUM and am working up a load with the new 230 grain Hybrids in the target version with the .743 B/C. Looks like the max velocity with accuracy that I will get is 2,925-2950 fps. H1000 has actually produced better velocity than Retumbo. Have not quite finished load development yet but this will be a significant energy advantage over my 210VLD load at 3100fps out at the 1k mark. My point is that this could be a LR option for you if you don't feel your barrel length is enough for the big .338 300's. Also, don't worry about the "Target" designation on the 230's, based off of bullet disections/comparisons with VLD's and LR hunting reports on here I have no concern with trying these on elk next hunting season. Just wished my RUM had about a 30" pipe.:D [/QUOTE]
