[QUOTE="landcbeitner, post: 188573, member: 10214"] This forum contains tons of great info, been enjoying it greatly. I've been reading lots of info about the different 338 caliber cartridges and their velocities. I haven't found much info on the extra velocity I can expect with a 30" barrel for a 338 Lapua. My reloading book gives info with a 26" barrel. Velocity listed for the 300gr SMK was 2750, I ordered my barrel with a 30" finished length hoping to get close to 2900fps. I remember reading another post where a guy had a simular question, but I haven't found it again. Is my 2900fps goal reasonable with a 30" barrel? I notice most achieving these velocities are using improved cartridges. Thanks again. Lucas Beitner [/QUOTE]
