[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 624551, member: 10306"] Ill give you a quick run down on the .338's. .340 Wby-one of the first chambering to make the .338 diameter bullet shine. Its a necked up .300 wby. It will get a 225 grn bullet to 3000fps, and a 250 grain bullet to 2800fps. 26" tube. .338 RUM- 2750-2800 fps with 300 grain bullets, 3000 fps with 250grn bullets and 3325 with 225 grain bullets. Pretty efficent for what you get. down side is poor brass and i think that remington is going to do away with it, or at least put it on the back burner. 26" tube. .338 EDGE- a necked up .300 RUM. essentially the same as the .338 RUM, but a wildcat. 26" tube .338 Lapua- the same as the .338 RUM/EDGE but... it can be pushed a little harder becuase of really great brass, though I wouldnt recomend it. The down side to this is the bigger action that is needed (at least thats what they say). 26" tube. .338 NORMA- same class as the RUM/EDGE/Lapua but with a 24" barrel. based off the .338 Lapua. Extremly effecient. *EDIT* I was just reading about guys using a 26'' tube and getting that velocity so now I dont know... kinda sucks cuz I was just thinking about ordering a reamer. There are bigger ones, but the cost starts to jump alot after these ones. I think we need a little .338 review from LTLR. [/QUOTE]
