[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 430781, member: 505"] You will not gain 300 fps. Probably will not gain 100 fps. It is an excellent rifle as is and I would not change it. I have seven 338-378's with 28"-31" barrels. H-870 and retumbo are the best powders. The load I am shooting saturday for antelope is 128 grains of h-870 with the 225 accubond at 3540 fps out of my 28" barrell. I agree you have the best over the counter hunting rifle made and I wouldn't change it if it were me. If it shoots good why bother. H 870 gets 3060 fps with the 300 smk and 3325 fps with the 250 grain bullets out of this 28" barrel. Re25, H1000, 7828, etc are to fast for this cartridge. us869 may be good but I haven't tried it. The slowest are the best. Most barrel makers will do you a 30" barrel. [/QUOTE]
