[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 161864, member: 8843"] It'll **** sure launch them but not nearly as fast as the 338 Rum would , I doubt that you would even be able to match what the old 338 Winchest could do with the heavier bullets because I think the 338 Win has a little more case capacity to fill with slow powder . I know that the bullet I Dad shoots is the 210gr Partition and the velocity was in the 2900+fps range. Had great results on deer out to 300yds and a huge pig (500lb range) at 300+yds , both animals were shot through the shoulders and both died quickly. I think that the best you might be able to do with the WSM case and a 250gr bullet is in the 2500fps range. You might ask Kirby , I think he has built a few on this round and would more than likely have shot the heavier bullets. [/QUOTE]
