[QUOTE="peaceje, post: 2378188, member: 78644"] You won’t get a 175 to 3000fps, but the 160 will get there. 185s run around 2700-2750. As mentioned earlier the 160 doesn’t have the bc for long distance work and the velocity drops too fast for effective opening with a Barnes. I have played with the 230 Eldx in a 338 fed tikka and it has the potential for 500 yards, but my gun didn’t like the combo and then I ran out of 230 eldx’s:( There is a great thread on this site on the 338 Fed reloading and you may have seen it but it’s worth a read. Highly underrated caliber IMO. I just picked up a savage AR in 338 fed that should make a good bear stand gun for my son using 210 partitions. [/QUOTE]
