[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1458543, member: 11960"] That's where you bullet guys come in! The only way to get more performance out of some of these cartridges is to improve the technology that's out there. Monolithic bullets have done a lot to help change ELR because they provide a (relatively) cost effective way to design,test and manufacture new bullet designs. As more makers of conventional cup and core bullets, like yourself, step up offer new products it gets even better. The only downside is having to use extra fast twist barrels. When I burn out my 2 338/408 barrels I'll replace them with 1-7" twist barrels instead of the 1-9" and see about having somebody make me a 330+ grain 338 bullet. The only way to get more performance out of some of these rounds now is with heavier bullets. Rounds like the 338 SnipeTac are maxed out with available powders unless you start getting into extremely heavy for caliber bullets. You can get similar performance by dropping down in case volume to match the case to the powder and bullet combos available. There's no replacement for displacement, until you've reached the limits of your fuel. [/QUOTE]
