[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2791323, member: 14204"] That's a tall order, but I think a .338 RUM/EDGE/LM/NM/improved variant propelling the 250 Berger OTM will get you there. A .338 NM pushing the 250 Berger at 2900 FPS out of 26" at my altitude is 1832 FPS/1862 FT-LBS at 1000Y. Velocity loss from a 20" barrel is ~150+/- FPS.; unsure on the KE side. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
