[QUOTE="thesheepdog, post: 1109235, member: 81455"] So Saturday I got to push the .338 Patriot (.338-300 Win Mag) out to 1200 yards. I was using 300gr Bergers loaded to 3.785 OAL which clocked 2610 fps (very low SD) using 72.5gr RL26. RL26 is like the big-bore magnum version of RL17. I absolutely love both of these powders. No pressure signs at all. Based off my predictions, I am within .338 Win Mag territory still as far as pressure is concerned, with about 10gr more case volume. Overall, I am very pleased with this caliber. I don't even shoot my .338 Edge anymore, because it's way overkill for 1200 yards. [/QUOTE]
