[QUOTE="woods, post: 747897, member: 6042"] Hey Lefty, because it is more like 350 fps. For example if I take the listed max velocities for the 338 win mag and 338 RUM from my Nosler #5 manual and average them for each on the 225 gr bullet 338 win mag average 2787 fps 338 RUM average 3144 fps that is a 357 fps advantage to the RUM and significant. I too grew tired of the low velocity of the 338 win mag and am now well pleased with the RUM. Now I am not a hyper velocity guy but do want to shoot a bullet with decent BC at, or very close to 3000 fps for some reason [/QUOTE]
