[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 111513, member: 10"] Well, depending on what barrel length you used, 3400 fps would be a very comfortable load in my opinion. The 338 AM will do this in a 35" barrel easily with a 300 gr SMK. If you increase the bore size significantly such as you would going to the 375 AM and then decrease bullet weight to 260 or 270 gr, the baring surface of these bullets would decrease significantly and the ability to use faster burning powders would also add to the velocity potential of this round. I will not say what I think would be possible with a 260 gr Accubond in a 375 AM as far as velocity but I will say I would predict significantly higher velocities they you are listing here [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!!! Significantly higher! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
