[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1452447, member: 64108"] Steve at Hammer Bullets has a 6.5-338 Lapua Improved that runs 130's around the 4,000fps range, it's his wife's favorite gun to shoot. I have a 9 twist 7mm RUM that I was going to shoot the barrel out to get an 8 twist to shoot heavier non-lead bullets but found that shooting 143 Hammers at 3,600fps was pretty effective inside 1,000 yards, very flat, and no recoil. A very fun hunting gun with barrel life probably similar/slightly less to a regular RUM, 600-800 rounds can go a long time in a hunting gun and the fun factor is pretty high. Efficient and practical...not so much. [/QUOTE]
