[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 498617, member: 505"] All are accurate. That depends on the barrel and rifle, not the cartridge. Just depends on how much you want to spend and what your purpose is with the rifle. Performance wise you mentioned the three that are virtually identical in performance with no seperation there. Take your pick. All three average shooting a 300 grain bullet a little over 2800 fps with most accuracy loads. 338 RUM, 338-300 RUM and 338 Lapua. 340 wby a little over 2700 fps. The three you mentioned a little over 2800 fps. Lapua Improved into the 2900's. 338-378 wby a little over 3000 fps. Improved 338-378 wby over 3100 fps 338-416 rigby improved and Excaliber can get up to 3200 fps depending on the individual rifle and barrel length. 338-416 chey-tac improved can hit over 3300 fps. The Allen 338's are his version of the 338 lapua improved and the 338-416 chey tac improved. [/QUOTE]
