himmelrr Campfire Tracker Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 4,906 Likes: 2 AL/GA line	Originally Posted by Dawn2Dusk What are the real world velocities one should achieve with a 20" barreled 338 Federal? Mine is a 21" 338Fed and I get 2550fps with a 200gr Hornady IL. As evidenced by the "257 Weatherby thread", I do not push my handloads real hard. I think there is room icrease the MV, but I have no need to do that. I've killed a whooping two deer with it this year at 5 yards and 25 yards. Not real "long range." I did get nice exit holes and I think I had burned hair on the close one! I posted all my work up using IMR4895, RE15 and W748 with 185TSX, 210NP and the above mentioned bullet. Try searching through my posts. I'll try to find it also. I would be comfortable shooting at an elk at 300 yds with my 338Fed. Despite the above post, it will work out past 150yds. RH
