[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 355541, member: 505"] sp6x6, I appreciate your opinions and contributions to the site since you have been here. I love the 340 wby. It is a super magnum in my opinion. It is the first big 338 I started working with back in the mid 70's before I went to the 338-378. The newfangled 338 ultramag and 338-300 ultramag still just beat the 340 wby by 100-150 fps. I never heard an elk be able to tell me the difference between getting hit with 100-150 fps difference. And many can attest to the fact I speak really good elk language. My personal 340 wby I have shot since the mid 70's shoots the 250 sierra gameking at 3056 fps out of a 28" custom Hart barrel. My ultramag stuff gets just over 3100 fps. My longest elk kill with it was over 1100 yards. I think it is just as much a supermag as the ultramags. It is also very accurate with that bullet. But like I said 99% of my hunting is inside 800 yards where the lighter bullets (250 grains and less) do very well. [/QUOTE]
