2900 fps out of 300 grain 338 bullets.? 26 inch barrel? Wow.....

that sounds highly suspect to me. Out of my 27" barrel, I get 2730fps and could maybe push to 2800fps with a very hot load. But 2900... no way on my rifle.

I was just thinking the same thing! I'm at 2700 fps with a tad over book max with H1000. Would love to know what powders being used!

If somebody lives in the Austin area with a Chrono I will test with my TRG-42 1:10 twist. I have their 300 grain load waiting to be used.
