[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1647279, member: 22069"] Yup. With a similar bc and velocity, the 230 ELD-X will fly similarly to 260 Rem/6.5 Creedmoor with 140's, while carrying a LOT more freight. I am running these in my Sherman in the mid-2800's, with plenty of headroom below max pressure. A 338 WM should easily be able to push the 230's well in to the 2900's. ETA: With the availability of ADG brass in 300 WM and 7mm Rem Mag (both of which can be used to form 338 WM brass), along with newer powders and bullets, the 338 WM now has increased potential to punch well above its weight class. With a good side port muzzle brake, it can do it comfortably in a carry weight rifle. [/QUOTE]
