[QUOTE="hammertyme, post: 244076, member: 12863"] Working the numbers mind you as the reamers were just made, I figure I am loosing between 400 and 500fps with the shorter barrel. But, The 378 Weatherby case holds way more powder than the Lapua and because of that case capacity I am limited on powders I can use. Up side is there is an awesome amount of shearing gasses so recoil is very managable with the brake. Send me an e-mail if you wish and I will send you a picture. [EMAIL="ncooper@gci.net"]ncooper@gci.net[/EMAIL] I have a friend that is building a 338Lapua on a 20" pistol barrel. He figures he can get 3000fps with 225 grain Accubonds. I agree as I am certain that I can do the same with the 245 grain Lehigh bullet. Neal [/QUOTE]
