[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 373768, member: 505"] Good post, your right 3200 fps is not possible without going to the chey-tac case. In a standard hunting weight rifle you could hit 3100 fps with a fast 30" barrel in something off the 378 case or 416 imp case. I have done it but that doesn't mean that is where your accuracy is going to be. The ones off the 378 case and the 416 rigby imp are the fastest ones out there unless you go to the chey-tac case. I have built about everything out there since the 70's trying to come up with the fastest in a hunting weight carry rifle. I have seven 338-378 wby's in various styles right now along with several other big 338's. Three of the seven get good accuracy loads in the 3050 fps range. That is about the best you can hope for. I had a 1000 yard range in the back yard behind my old shop and shot many rifles head to head. That majic bullet just ain't there. Accuracy is the key. [/QUOTE]
