[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1048251, member: 13110"] I hate to tell you but the 338 Lapua case capacity isn't less than a 338/26 Nosler. It is almost the same as a Edge. Despite what Quickloads says a Lapua will easily out run a 338/26 Nosler. A new unfired 338 Lapua case full of water holds 110.5grs. Fired would be 2-3grs more. A fired 338 Baer (338-8mm Rem mag improved with about 2.5-3grs more capacity then a standard 338-8mm) holds 103.6grs and will have about the same capacity as a 38/26 Nosler. A new .340 Weatherby is 101.1grs. So from the looks of things you have a shorter fatter 340 Weatherby Imp or slightly less than a 338 Norma. Velocities in a 338 would be really close to a standard 340 Weatherby with it's excessive freebore. There is no magic with case capacities unless you run at different pressures or have one of the elusive fast barrels where you get the velocities of the next bigger case size. [/QUOTE]
