[QUOTE="SnowbirdUT, post: 1742749, member: 88029"] Where do you get your 338 AI brass? Do you make it from regular 338 LM brass? Who chambered your rifle? Do you know who made the reamer to chamber your rifle? What is the length of your barrel? How much powder and what weight charge do you use to achieve 2990 fps? I have 2 338 LM’s. I shoot 300 Gr Berger Tactical Elite Bullets (I think that is what they are called. Highest G7 BC they make). I cannot get a muzzle velocity greater that 2750 to 2800 fps. The 300 Gr burgers perform well but do not outperform my 300 RUM with 230 gr Berger Hybrid targets. I get 3005 fps with Retumbo (don’t remember the weight of the powder and am away from my office at the moment). It I can get 2990 fps with a 300 gr bullet from a 338 AI, that bullet should out perform the 230 gr berger at longer distances (e.g. 1 mile). [/QUOTE]
