[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2719221, member: 11960"] I had an 18" 300 RUM Striker and it shot the 180 Accubond at 3100 fps. I'd expect the same load in a 16" barrel to be around 3000+ fps. If choosing between a 300 RUM and a 338 Win Mag, I'd go 300 RUM. If one of the bigger 338s was an option, I'd pick that over the 300. A high BC .338 bullet in the 200gr range would perform pretty well out of a 16" 338 Win Mag, but probably wouldn't go much over 2800 fps. It took me a little while to get comfortable behind a specialty pistol with a rifle scope. A good muzzle brake and slowly working my way closer to the scope helped. I started at lower powers so I could hold a little farther back, and slowly worked my way closer. [/QUOTE]
