[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 296671, member: 505"] Who makes these lathe turned bullets with the high BC's?. I have two 378 wby's that would love to see some .9 BC's. jmden, I assure you there is not 200 fps difference between the 340 wby and anything off the ultramag case. The ultramag is slightly faster obviously with all that powder capacity but many people who have quiet a lot of experience with both favor the 340 because it does it with 12-15 grains less powder on average. I assure you my data through many years with big 338's is far greater than any loading manual. If you are familiar with the 338 ultramags compare my accuracy load with the 340 weatherby I have used for 30 years out of a 28" Hart barrel with a 1-10 twist to your loads with an ultramag. 3056 fps with a 250 grain bullet. You will find there is not enough difference to make a difference in hunting situations. It was just another option. Like I said I would go right back with either the 300 or 338 ultramag depending on what kind of game he was hunting and how far he wanted to shoot. If he is shooting quiet a bit beyond 600 yards on large game I would do the 338 ultramag with that action. There is hardly any difference between any of the 338 ultramag versions. [/QUOTE]
