Hmm, might want to check your speedometer; you've got the 225 going faster then the 200. . . . . . . . ? I would think you could push the lighter bullet a little faster. . . . .

What are you saying here?


Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.

All I'm doing is saying how fast in FPS MY 338 RUM will do. And if your Lapua is faster Witch
I know it is. How much faster is it.

I want a 338RUM some kind of bad, But I want that Remington 700 model with the extreame weather coating. There is just something about that rifle that makes me tingly inside.

My 338 will do a 200 at about 3500 fps and a 225 at 3400+.

Tyler,
What is the barrel length on your rifle? I ask because of the velocity of the loads your getting. Just curious.

jro45,
36"? or is that a typo and you meant 26"? I have been thinking of doing a 338 build (rum or lapua)but want to keep barrel length at 26 or shorter since I'll be packing it.

I have a 24 inch barrel on mine works just fine. One of my favorite loads is pushing a 225 grain North Fork at 3050 fps.
This load will is very accurate in my gun.
