[QUOTE="CPerkins, post: 130316, member: 6626"] [ QUOTE ] CODY The 338 RUM will best the 340 and can be bough over the counter for less than the 340 ammo. And would be a nice addition to your collection. J E CUSTOM [/ QUOTE ] I like what I hear on the 338 RUM, but what kind of velocity van I expect with handloads. I know that factory loads are not the best indicators, but from looking at those the 340 looks to be much faster. The only bullet that I can find loaded in both is the 210 gr. nosler partition. The 338 RUM is a federal loading listed at 3025 fps at the muzzle. The 340 is a Weatherby load listed at 3211 fps. I know that it is hard to compare the loads of two manufactures even with the same bullet, but 200 fps is quite a difference. Thanks [/QUOTE]
