[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 312318, member: 505"] Vintec, You just have a fast barrel and that is good. All the 338 ultramags and 338-300 ultramags I have tested maxed out with accuracy around 2685-2865fps with the 300 grain bullet. Just depends on your barrel and setup. Remingtonman, You are right on the 40 fps per 2" barrel in the big 338's. On all the ones I have tested it averaged around 18 fps per inch I think. Your chrono was wrong on your 3400+ fps with the 215. That is getting close to 338-378 territory and that is way more gun than an ultramag. The 338-300 ultramag will max out between 3225-3325 fps depending on your barrel. That is a really good bullet by the way that often gets overlooked. I have taken game with it over 800 yards.
