[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 694596, member: 505"] The 225 and 252 yes in a 1-10. The 260 is a very long sleek bullet quite a bit longer than the 300 grain lead core bullets. It looks like a mini missile and is very impressive. Talking to the guys at CE they recomend a 1-9 or faster twist for it. The past two weeks since I returned from your country in Alaska I shot the 260 quite a bit out of my Hart 1-10 twist 338-378 at 3225-3300 fps. I got some very good groups out of it to 1500 yards. I have not worked with it in the 338 RUM enough to make a determination if it could be done. Just some velocity numbers is all I have done so far with the 338 RUM. In my opinion I would shoot the 252 grain as the heaviest CE bullet at 338 RUM velocities in a 1-10 twist. I have shot it out of my rifle with some excellent groups. Trapper at CE over the weekend was shooting some amazing groups out of his new 338 Hart (338-300 RUM) with the 252 max agg with a 1-9 twist at 3050-3100 fps or so. I have shot that bullet out of my 338 RUM well in a 1-10 twist to 3100 fps with 97 grains Retumbo. [/QUOTE]
