One of the .338LM's original loadings was with a 250grn. bullet @ 2100fps or so.(just short of the original goal of the 8.58x71 parent cartridge.)
I was under the impression that the 338 Lapua pushed a 250 gr up to about 2900 fps out of a 26" barrel. Can a 300 Win. Mag. get a 250 gr bullet up to 2900 fps?
I run a 250gr Scenar or Match King at 2950FPS in my TRG. I have never heard of an 338LM load with a 2100fps with a 250gr. The 300 Win mag is a great cartridge but isnt no 338LM and doesnt claim to be. About the heaviest 30 cal target bullet is the 240gr SMK which would be viable in the win mag but would benifit great alot from a fast twist and a long throat.
