[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2792014, member: 100742"] So Doctor Miller, I have just a few questions, " when you load for that 338WSM, with the 21 inch barrel, do you use powder with a faster burn rate then you would if the rifle had a 24 inch barrel?? ?" In order to get the desired velocity, "do you have to tolerate a much higher chamber pressure?" "Is it necessary to seat the bullet well off the lands so as not to incur a high pressure spike? " If the rifle is custom, "did you select a faster rate of twist due to the shorter length of the barrel? " I use IMR 4350 In my 20 inch 30-06 but I am trading somewhat less velocity ( only 2600/2650 fps) for a softer recoil. I agree with the suggestion previously given to me about using a powder with a faster burn rate, but I have not tried that yet. [/QUOTE]
