[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 747914, member: 48043"] ok... for my #1 in 338 win I can drive my 225 hornady OR nos bullets to 2900 fps( these are verified by my oehler 35 p and the drop works out) with either h4831 or rl19 and I'm not even working the rifle. And most book data for 338 rum is 3100 fps for a 225. 200 fps it is. I can get a 250 to 2750 fps with rl19 also, and you'll have trouble getting over 2900 fps with the 338 rum; so 150 fps for that one. The #1 has a 26" bbl., but I'm talking to guys with 24" 338wins that are getting within 50 fps of me. The 338 win is a good cartridge many here are giving short thrift. Is is very efficient and does the job well. I wouldn't mind a bit more case capacity, but it has enough to function. As far as the OP wondering about a 338 rum; There are precious few available at present. I've only seen a couple for sale on the net today and haven't seen any locally in months. You are likely going to have to build a rifle. [/QUOTE]
