[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 599205, member: 505"] Performance is between the 340 wby and the RUM's. There is 125 fps betwen there and the 338 SIN fills that about half way. The beauty of the cartridge is that it is short about the same length as the 338 winchester allowing for seating bullets out long while still feeding well through the magazine. I use 330 Dakota brass for mine. It makes a short throat similar to the Gibbs cartridges but I have not had a problem with that. I think most of my accuracy loads hit around 3100 fps with the 225 grain cutting edge bullet at .64 bc. The cartridge is a very efficient design similar to the short mags allowing it to utilize very fast burning powders giving it excellent velocity in short barrels. Mine is a 24" barrel. A 225 grain .64 bc bullet at 3100 fps makes it a 1000 yard elk rifle that does very well in a light short barreled carry or backpack style rifle. That is my style of hunting so it suits me very well. Run the numbers on JBM and see how it stacks up against others. [/QUOTE]
