[QUOTE="jwp475, post: 155817, member: 3776"] I know of a few crediable people that have reported 3000 FPS with a 30" barrel.Since the 338 Laupa has slightly less case capacity than the 338 Edge the only way to get this type of velocity is by run higher than SAAMI rated pressure.I am not sure why people seem to think that 3000 fps is so important. at 1400 yards it hardly matters if you started at 3000fps or 2850fps. The king of long range at the moment is the 50 BMG with very high bc bullets at a muzzle velocity of about 2800 fps plus or minus a few fps depending on barrel lnght etc. Although I believe in the not to distance furture were are going to be close to 50 BNG long range perfomance (not terminal performance) with the 338 and 375 caliber rounds with a muzzle velocity of 2800 to 2900 fps.................As some super high bc bullets are about to be produced...............
