[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 2893277, member: 8873"] I believe you are on to something pertaining to the actions. Mine is built on a Savage .338 Lapua single shot target action. I’ve had 3 barrels and they all pressure up @ under the Tubbs published loads. I believe an action with a little more meat would fair better. My current barrel is a 28” carbon wrapped with 1-9” twist. My current load is 122 grains of LRT pushing a 300 grain Berger or SMK right at 3050 fps. I have pushed it to 3150 but extraction gets sticky and precision and ES is great at the lower velocity. 3600 fps with a 275 grain bullet is what I would expect more on the level of a long barreled 338 Allen Mag. Not saying they aren’t getting that, it is just exceptionally fast (in my mind at least). [/QUOTE]
