[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 218405, member: 10"] I have not shot anything that shot flatter out to 1000 yards or farther. That said, as good as the 300 gr SMK is at 3300-3400 fps, shooting the prototype Wildcat 265 gr AT RBBT at 3500 fps is just impossible to discribe in comparision. Unfortunately, that bullet may not find its way to the mass market because of boarder crossing issues with componants and bullets. Very sad. Just imagine a .960 BC bullet at 3500 fps, and thats out of a 32" barrel!!! Only thing I have tested that shoots as flat to these ranges is the 7mm AM with a 200 gr ULD RBBT in a 30" barrel clipping along at 3300 fps. That said, there is no comparision on target when the 338 lands compared to the 7mm landing home. You get numb to this level of performance when you play with it all the time but when you pick up a conventional rifle with conventional bullets, it becomes very clear how potent it really is.
