[QUOTE="winmag, post: 427870, member: 22166"] Supprised is an understatement. Ive always bought into the whole ''50-60 feet per second per inch'' theory and applied it accross the board when trying to reach stated Weatherby velocities(26 in bbl) out of my Winchester 300wby with a 24 inch pipe. Never could even come close. I just blamed the short pipe for the lack of velocity. Maybe theres something to be said about overbore cartriges in 338 caliber with heavy bullets. Only 13fps per inch of barrel, avg. in a ''packing weight/length'' rifle is a real suprise for sure. I wouldve guessed much more loss per inch. Good read. Thank you for posting the link. [/QUOTE]
