[QUOTE="jmden, post: 335314, member: 1742"] This is from a post by 'long ranger'. He's built alot of these and routinely gets well past 3K fps with 300SMK and 30" Rock Creek tubes treated with Gun Juice. "338LAI has 126 gr water capacity, I have found 111.5 gr of US869 works REALLY well and no pressure. Not sure why it works but it truly does. So far in 1 of my own rifles the original brass has 11 reloading and is still not showing any signs of growth or weakening. The Edge if memory serves has 115 grains of water capacity and the Edge AI has 127."

I phoned one of his customers lately who is running his load at 102.something Retumbo...so a bit hotter than what Kirby usually uses.
