[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 574371, member: 5219"] For what it is worth I built a long throated 338 RCM and shoot the 300 gr Berger Hybrids. Using 57 grs of RL-17 and a 29" barrel the bullet is leaving the muzzle at 2575 fps. The bullet is seated with the base even with the shoulder neck junction making it too long for a SA magazine. It is a repeater in a LA. Just added this as a reference. I would imagine a WSM might get about the same or a bit less velocity with the 300 gr hybrid seated to fit and feed from a SA magazine.
