[QUOTE="clamb4, post: 478810, member: 5812"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I had the same questions last year when I was planning to build a large 338. Mainly I was worried about the RUM not having enough muzzle velocity compared to the EDGE. Finally decided to go with the RUM and figured it would be fast enough. I ordered a 27” Pac-nor barrel.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]To my surprise I am getting 2900' sec. using Retumbo and 300g SMK. Thought maybe my [/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]chronograph [/SIZE][/FONT][COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]was reading wrong, but checked the drops out to 750 yards using 2900 in the ballistic calculator and they are right on. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]So my rifle shooting 300g bullets at 2900’ sec at ½ to ¾ MOA will do everything I think I will ever want in a large 338. I shot a cow elk in DEC with this rifle (first kill) at only 184 yards, but she never took a step DRT.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
