[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1264733, member: 7999"] My 338 Lap is improved with a 9" twist barrel. I run 285g Hammer Hunter at 3117fps. This bullet is too long to mag feed. I am going to guess that you have a 10" twist in which case our 260g Hammer Hunter would run very well. I would look at US869 to push it at ~3000fps. This would be top end and probably need Lapua brass. Depending on your elevation this combo would give you effective hunting range to 1000y. You can load the 300g Berger to ~2700fps and it will give you the same 1800fps impact vel at 1000y. Steve [/QUOTE]
