[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 265393, member: 2011"] I'd have to look at my records that are in Idaho to state the powder I'm using but my 338 RUM w/a 26" rem sporter take off barrel shoot the 300 SMK @ 2735 +/- 1 FPS and is PD accurate (.5" @ 200). I seem to recall that the powder is 7828ssc. It kind of just sets there waiting to get called upon to do something when some extra umph is needed out towards 1K. Being as its a little on the light side I'm thinking it and I are good to the 900 yd mark. Limitations are mostly due to limitations of 1/8th" clicks and mil-dot scope. My next step, rather than go to Lapua Improved or an Edge and only get a little more, I'm dreaming about going to where there, at my age, there is no other level to go to and that would be a 375 based on the 408. Improved,,,,,,of course.....:) [/QUOTE]
