[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2371854, member: 10755"] I have 3 338WM, never felt they didn’t have enough capacity or speed for the ranges I typically hunt in the mountains. I get on average just over 2900fps with most 225g bullets in the 26” tubes and 2775fps with 250’s in the same barrels. These numbers can easily be increased, but I find accuracy drops off. I have used these rifles to 1000, BUT this is not what they are set up for, and my self imposed limit is 600 with lightweight compact scopes of 10x power or less. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
