[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2022141, member: 87243"] With a long 28" barrel and max loads, they are just breaking 2700 fps with 285 grain Hornady's. Doing that with 300's would be pushing the envelope even on a long barrel. Might be doable, but it would be pretty high pressure. I have seen other loads woth the standard 270 based 338 Sherman, about the same capacity as the max, and with a 24" they are getting upper 2600 range, again, with max loads. For a useable load that would have brass last with 300 grain pills, I would aim to hopefully break 2600 with a final load and a 26" barrel. Thats if you don't get a slow barrel. If your ok with your brass lasting 3 or maybe 4 loads, then you might break 2700. [/QUOTE]
