[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1037221, member: 13110"] I think that will be a pipe dream in a 24" barrel. A 30-26 Nosler is basically a 30-8mm/300 Weatherby/300 AI/etc in a shorter package. In a 24" barrel you might see 2900fps but I would bet it's in the 2800's. I haven't shot 230's in my 30-8mm but I have in my 30-338 Norma Imp. with a water case capacity of 110grs (almost the same as a 300RUM) and I shoot 230's 3044fps in a 30" barrel. I think my 30-8mm is 10-12grs less capacity and the Nosler should be within a few grains of that. I would bet my 30-8mm would shoot 230's around 2950fps in a 27" barrel. It shoots 210's at 3100fps. I also have a 30-338 Lapua Imp with a 33" barrel that shoots 230's 3330fps but it uses 111grs of ball powder to get there where the Norma uses 90grs of R-33. [/QUOTE]
