[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1241339, member: 10429"] So I have heard remarks before that the 300 grain bullet weight is a lot of force on the barrel as it spins down the barrel. In the normal Sendero contour people have stated they think or say they are experienced barrel whip and had to drop down to a 250 grain bullet. If not wanting to experience this what are some of the contours that might resolve this type of effect. I really don't know how much this takes place since it looks like some of the 338 Edge's have the Sendero contour design and shoot 300 grain pills very well. Also what powder are you running and at what charge weight in the Texan. If 3100 is achievable then that would really be awesome or 3000 would even be awesome as well. That would really be something to grow into as my skills improve. Also its still in the air about the caliber...I am still leaning more toward the 338 cal just because when I need bullets I can get them pretty easy. I was leaning a little more toward the 338 Lapua AI due to always being able to find brass at my local stores. On the other hand I did run across 100 375 RUM cases and I pretty sure they are still at the store right now. So I think in a previous post different location on the form the 375 cases were getting necked down to the 338. That might be something to buy now if I was to go with the Texan and if I don't use them I can sail them. [/QUOTE]
