[QUOTE="wvcountryboy, post: 445296, member: 28693"] I shoot a 338 ultramag. 30"lilja 12 twist. My dad shoots a 338-378. 30" hart 10 twist. My brother in law just finished a 338 lapua improved. 32"lilja 10 twist. I am a fan of small bullets and high velocity. I like the bullet to come apart to see how big of a hole i can make. My ultra mag is throated for 180 grain bullets. Nosler accubond is the only 180 grains made. They have too thick of a jacket. Looking for a thinner jacketed bullet I went to 250 match kings. They come apart extremely well on deer. I shot a 5 shot group last weekend at 100 yards. 90 grains 7828 is giving me 3165 fps in 50*f and i shot a .193 group. It wasnt legitimate because i had a flier so it took me 6 shots but there are 5 shots in .193. My dad and brother in law both shoot the 300 match kings. My dad is getting 2900 and my brother in law is getting 28 something. 2860 if i remember right. Neither one is showing pressure. All I can say is, my dad worked his load up very quick, my brother in law had to play for about a day to get a load. It seems to me it is easier to get that 378 case to shoot. My dad also has a 30-378 which he shoots 125s in at 4050 and it shoots really good. I had to play with my ultra mag to get a load that shot good. My brother in law had to play to get his lapua improved to shoot. Not the 338-378. Maybe he just got lucky on the first load but it seems to me they are easier to get accurate loads for. [/QUOTE]
