Just came in from chronoing my old 28" barreled MK-V 338-378 WBY, loads were with the 300 gr 338 cal Accubonds and Retumbo powder, they went: 2992 3001 2997 This will be my new 'all game' LR load, I believe even at 3000 fps it would take a helluva critter to rivet that much bullet shank.

My buddy has hammered Michigan whitetails from his 338 RUM with that 300 Long range too Rifle minus bi-pod weighs just shy of 10 lbs, no brake either, happy to report I'm averaging around .655 three shot groups at 100, need to play with COL's and try to get it at or below .500". Trying to precision fire a rifle of this magnitude is an extreme exercise in anti-flinch control lol, 300 grains at 3000 fps really boots from the bench. Gunner Trump Won!
