[QUOTE="longrangehunterII, post: 815470, member: 61185"] Hey Mario, My Sako has a slow barrel in the velocity department even though it's 27 1/4" long. Doesn't really matter what powder I use, the speeds are way off until the upper end near max is reached. I presume it's because the barrel is chrome lined and not really tight, but it does shoot very well so I don't really care. I'd rather have tack driver then the need for more speed. I did get 2670/2682 fps 20' from the muzzle w/97.5 grains of RL 33, which is Max in their leading book for the 338 LM. So 2700 fps in my barrel vs. their 2750 fps is meaningless to me! How did those TSX's I sent you work out? [/QUOTE]
