[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 574053, member: 3733"] I ran some numbers on a 338 wsm shooting a 225 AB at 2800 fps I think that velocity should be doable in a 26" rifle barrel. The 225 should be a good bullet to help fit the magazine and have a proven track record on elk. Looks like a legitimate 1000 yard elk rifle to me. With a #5 contour it could make a nice intermediate dual purpose rifle.
