[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 84080, member: 10"] Alg, Not really but in a shorter barrel, the 338 Bore will generate more velocity with a heavir bullet then will a 30 cal. Simply a factor of bullet surface area and the ability of the larger bored 338 to use faster burning powder under heavier bullets. In shorter length barrels this will result in more velocity whereas the tighter bored 30 cals need a bit more pipe to get the slower powder burned effectively. From what I have seen, the big 30 cals will gain around 20-22 fps per inch past 26. My comment was only to point out that the 338 bore is much more efficent in a shorter barrel length then a 30 cal.
