[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 1617, member: 505"] Darryl, Remember my velocities are out of a 28" barrel hunting rifle. I think the velocities you posted from a 30 caliber tomahawk and 240 grain bullets were out of much longer barrels. When I said I haven't found anything that beat the 338-378 I thought we were talking about buying a factory rifle. I just didn't explain good enough. I have several rifles off the ultramag case and agree improving it is the way to go on a budget. I have two in 338 using the full length 300 case and improved version. They are exceptional rifles and these along with the lapua and 338-378 wby are all right in there within probably 100 fps using the same barrel lengths. Really your individual barrel could make the difference on which would be faster. I have a 26" standard 300 weatherby that I love to show off to 30-378 owners. My accuracy load with a 180 grain bullet is 3475 fps, with the 200 grain bullet it is 3275 fps. Some barrels are just crazy. [/QUOTE]
