[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1048570, member: 13110"] By your own admission it's less capacity than a 338 Lapua and 338 Norma. I don't need to own one to know what the velocity will be like. It will be really close to a 338 Norma and less than a Lapua by your numbers. Like I said it's not magical pixie dust stuff. Next your going to tell me it's faster than the Norma even though the Norma has more capacity and is shorter so it can be throated longer. I hate to tell you but the Norma people tried to say it was the equal of the Lapua when it came out and it fell short. Besides no where in this discussion was there a loaded case length stipulation. There are 3.9+" magazines out there and 4.0" Remington style internal magazines. That is like saying a 28 Nosler is faster than a 7RUM because it fits in a 3.68" magazine. Get real man, case capacity equals speed. Even at SAAMI specs the Lapua will out run a 338/26 Nolser (A wildcat with what is obviously a longer throat) with everything but the heaviest bullets. The cool thing is Lapua brass will out last Nosler brass 3 or 4 times over at max pressure for the same cost. I won't own one because I won't pay 2.50 a case for any Nosler brass. If it was Lapua or RWS then I might but the Nosler brass I've used hasn't been worth more than 1.00 a case and that is being generous. Besides I can neck down my 30-338 Norma Imp and out run it using 45 cent Lapua brass. Oh darn I have to use a .588 bolt to do it.
