[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 21917, member: 34"] Brent and Steve Marck Chapic has a 338/416 Imp with a BAT action and 40" barrel and I was there the day he took it to 3350 FPS using the 300 gr bullet with NO pressure signs what so ever. I even opened the bolt on one of the fired cases to see if there was any sticking----None was present. He could have pushed it faster but, stopped there. I doubt if a lessor volumn case would be able to do it. If he would have had a 44" barrel he could possibly have added another 100 to 125 fps to that velocity. He was using an Oehler chronagraph for his printouts that day. As I have stated before ---I have run mine to 3310 FPS at the expense of brass and that's in a 37" barrel. Had I had a 44" instead, my velocity would be WAY up there---Probably 3400 or more? Just added information. Darryl [/QUOTE]
