[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1855354, member: 12443"] Well i dont suppose elevation matters anyway at the muzzel or 10’ away. But i can tell you we cant quite reach 3000 fps with a 338x378 case using numerous different powders with a 300 gr bullet from a 30” barrel. 3050 with the standard 416 case from a 36” barrel, registered on an Ohler 35. Yet shooting at distance both guns shoot flatter than a standard Lapua or an Edge. Most guys i know have switched to lighter bullets in the 338x378 and smaller cases in order to gain velocity, and out to at least 1500 have found better performance. Even the larger cases like the Big Baer, 3250 from a 34” barrel using 137 gr of powder with a 300 gr. Yet sit that side by side with any of the others and it’s no contest. [/QUOTE]
