[QUOTE="Dan Conzo, post: 55880, member: 269"] ceglar A friend of mine worked on this short 50 necked down to 338. He did some extensive testing with frontal ignition and compressing the powder using 300 gr Sierra MKs, and the best he could get was 3300 fps. The barrel was long (30" or longer), but I don't remember how long. The 338/416Rigby would just about equal it with a lot less trouble. I don't know if things would be different today with the new powders available or not. This was about 10 years ago. --Dan [/QUOTE]
