[QUOTE="jimbo300, post: 1616454, member: 9060"] I’m running a 338 NM AI. Defiance Deviant Proof Research 28” 9.4T w/Terminator T3 Manners T5A w/ Seekins LM DBM Jewel HVR Using a 300 gr Elite Hunter, 88.5 gr H1000 and CCI 250’s my velocity here in MS is 2738. Used it to kill a really nice bull elk this past fall in WY, it absolutely hammers and recoil is nothing with the T3. Did some drop validation when I got to WY, shot out to 990 yds had to bump velocity in my Kestrel w/AB to 2750. When I began initial testing, I really wanted to get to the 2850 + range with the 300 Elite Hunter using either Retumbo or H1000. I would have to review my testing results, but seems like I started seeing pressure around 91 grs. Will probably pull this barrel and sell, then get another just like it and chamber to 338 LM AI to get the velocity to what I hope will be close to 2900 FPS. I know I could use other powders to get above the 2738 velocity I’m currently getting, but I only trust the Hodgdon extreme powders going from one temp extreme to another. [/QUOTE]
