[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 130375, member: 2736"] CODY WEATHERBY gets its velocity with lots of freebore. factory loads cannot be shot in a rifle with standard freebore (excessive pressure will occur) Usable powder capacity for the 340 is around 90 grs The 338 RUM is 103grs not a lot of difference but with standard freebore. If you used WEATHERBYs freebore it would certainly beat the 340 in velocity. Dont get me wrong I think the 340 is a tremendous cartrige But at twice the price for weatherby ammo and rifle the 338 RUM is the best deal all around. Just an opinion but everone has one.
