[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1992344, member: 11960"] Do you think that's because of the case capacity you're working with? I'm sure that you're going to hit a certain point when the larger case capacities will work against your design and the need for faster powders. When you get caught up and have a chance to make more of the 338s I'll order some to try in the 338/375 Ruger pistol. Right now the 260 HH hits a pretty solid pressure wall at about 2680 fps from the 18" barrel, regardless of powder. Conventional lead core bullets are happy up to around 2725-2750 from the same gun. It would be interesting to see how the Absolutes behave in a moderate capacity (98.0gr) 338 with a short barrel. I'll order up some of the 338s and 7mms along with some 6.5s to test at both ends of the spectrum too in both the Grendel and the Badger. Maybe you'll have a couple others finished up by then too. I likely won't have time to do any shooting until January though! LOL [/QUOTE]
