[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 381460, member: 505"] Back in the late 90's and up until the 338 ultramag came out I built 75-100 338-300 ultramags for elk hunters in Colorado and then later in the southeastern US. I still hear from a number of those guys and I have not heard of one being shot out. I still have two personal rifles that I built during that period and they still shoot great. I have no idea the round count on any of these guys rifles but it is safe to say the 338-300 ultramag barrels have very long life in comparison to smaller caliber long range rifles. All these guys shot different bullet weights from 200-300 grains with velocities from 2750- 3350 fps with several different powders. Some of the loads I found to be very good they discontinued the powder. [/QUOTE]
