[QUOTE="Elk Hunter 338, post: 3081360, member: 23509"] :eek::eek:3100 fps with a 230gr and will shoot a 250gr to 3000fps in a 20-22" barrel. Shizzz I guess that's like shooting a 6.5 creedmoor these days! Gotta shoot a 300 gr bullet in a 338 or nothin🤣🤣 or it wont kill good and you cant shoot past 200 yards🤣🤣. You are killing me smalls. Have you shot a [B]suppressed[/B] 20-22 inch 8 pound rigged 338 edge pushing 300 gr OTM to their max and spot hits while hunting alone from any shooting position? 😎😎 I have shot every single as you say [B]"good powders" [/B]known for these big cases. There isn't one I haven't tried if I could get my hands on it! Do a few of them offer a little more velocity? Sure, at the cost of terrible fouling, massive throat erosion, Major lot to lot swings, terrible ES's, Terrible temp swings, hard to get, and the list goes on. I hunt in different locations all from a few hundred feet above sea level with temps from 40 deg in the morning to well over 85 in the afternoon to over 11'000 feet @ -20 to Alaska swamps where it rains, sleets and snows all day every day and nothing is ever dry You wont catch me running any of those so called [B]"better than H1000- Retumbo" [/B]!! I don't Stray from the hogdon extreme line if i can help it. There are so many great shooters/hunters on here that chased the Unicorn powder theory until they tested and went back to H1000. Did they loose a few ft a sec. maybe/probably, but their groups shrank, became more consistent day to day, their es equalized, throat erosion all but disappeared, the list goes on. But hey shoot what you want its a free country. [/QUOTE]
