Been loading my brother's older Rem 700 270. It chucks 135 gr Match Kings into about one hole at 100- doing an easy 3150. I gave the elevation dial on complete turn up from a 100 zero and fired a sighter into the 600 yd backstop. Heck, I was about a foot high- maybe more. Dead on line though.

Maybe some are flatter- but how much flatter is practical. Past this point, barrel wear starts running a hefty tab.

With the 0.640 base that would make it short, fat and voluminus. Now to convince Winchester to make a primer twice as energetic as their current LRMP. I think they could call it "the flamethrower". That would be the best ticket to max velocity without huge volumes of unburned powder blowing into the bore.

I don't know and am not into flat shooting rifles, I still like the 300 H&H for long range hunting.

For my purposes, 0-1000 yds, I like the 6.5 STW with the Lost River Ballistics 120 gr. J36 bullet Ballistic Coefficient=.687 goes at 3600 fps ,yes, safe pressures. Has 2000 foot lbs at 600 yards.

I expect that it is going to outperform my 338-8mm Rem Mag, my 338-300 WSM, my 338 Win Mag, 338-06 and my 338-08AI by a goodly distance.

Sounds like a good idea but I don't think the bank will give me a loan to purchase a season's worth of J36s. heheh

If 250 is mistake and 150gr was mentioned, I belive it could be possible from long barrel like 35" with 110gr of powder, but . . .

The cartridge under it is a .338 win mag for comparison.

Chic, can I rent the reamer once you have finished with it!!?

That is just too funny!!!!!!!!!

Scout...

One problem and one question. The problem is that it doesn't have a belt. All ultra fast cartridges must have a belt. The question is: Do you crimp?

For me 338/50 Talbot. Mid bore cartridge in a .50 BMG round. You can find most flat and most fast.

I think this is probably the most flat shooting wildcat or production cartrige. Pac-Nor makes barrels, but who makes big enough actions.

Hey Saeed, you should build one of those and post some ballistics on the reloading page!

However, more realistically I just got rid of my Sako TRG-S in 30-378wby improved. We were able to get over 3800ft/sec with 180gr and about 118 grains of powder!
