[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 849477, member: 10"] My 338 AMs in a 32" barrel length will hold accuracy out to around 2900 yards or a bit more at my 3400 ft elevation using the 300 gr SMK. Past that, they fall on their face, nothing resembling consistency in any way. When I was testing the 265 gr AT RBBTs from the old wildcat bullet company, was getting them to 3550 fps and on two different occasions went three for three hits on my 20" round gong at a measured 3010 yards. This was measured initially using wilde optical range finder and then confirmed with GPS and Google Earth matched up exactly. I HAVE NOT pushed things any farther then this, simply because its hard to find this much distance where its not a day effort to set up a target. I also have not pushed the 300 gr Berger to its limits in my 338 Allen Magnum. The load using the 300 gr SMK was loaded to just a hair over 3300 fps. I have tested the Berger bullets in the new Bertram brass and can push 3400 fps pretty easily so I would think that this would extend supersonic ranges to 3000 yards pretty easily. Plus, from what BROZ has been saying, the berger does better through transonic velocities then the SMK so that would be even more promising. From what these boys describe in the video, I would bet they are shooting standard 375 Cheytac loaded ammunition or loading to standard Cheytac specs which if anyone has looked these numbers up, they are far less then impressive and NO WAY they would maintain supersonic velocity to anywhere near 3000 yards let along another 700. If there were using special extreme BC bullets, I would think they would have mentioned that in the video. [/QUOTE]
