[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 1588214, member: 95013"] This is one heck of a cool wildcat. Offered one? Meaning its ready and you still have to pay or you were already considering a cool 338? My question is are you married to it? There are a few calibers that are more readily available that will fit the distance bill without creating a spending bill equal to the US debt. LOL The ai platform adds about 5-8 grains of available powder +/- to the 338 LM case and only about 75-100 fps more Would you possibly consider 338 Norma as an option? No fire forming. Can run long high BC bullets and get velocities in the 2900+ fps range with 300 grain bullets. Tons of manufacturers make this caliber and the components are more readily available. Example load data for 338 NM = 285 grain VLDM / 90.1 grains RETUMBO / CCI 250 Primer. Case is approximately 94% full and achieving 2935 out of a 26 inch barrel. Run a 28 or 30 and you can gauge the FPS if you want to go ELR out past what 99% of people are capable. [/QUOTE]
