Congrats Fotis. Question: I get 3,140 fps for 225gr TTSXs loaded by Corbon: https://shopcorbon.com/index.php?ro...oduct_id=72&mfp=11-type-of-cartridge[Rifle]&page=3 Could you get more than 3,180 fps with 225gr bullets in the .338-375 if you wanted to do so? Or is Corbon pushing the limits too far with the .340?

I can't say for sure. Either some kind of special canister powder or at the pressure limits. I can tell you that after I reached that particular velocity and my 338-378 and this type of accuracy I just stopped. See below. https://imgur.com/VLHa0wV

The one above is the most accurate load I ever have shot in any rifle. I have shot scores of them, with no issues, except that once, and only once, the bolt kind of stuck a bit. So, I was wondering if they were pushing it a little much. I was chronoing them at 3,160 fps ten years ago, but the loads I have bought in the last seven or so years have come out 20 fps lower. So, unless it's a chrono aberration, they may have lightened the load a bit.

If the bolt stocks then they are pushing some pressure. The best I can get from my 340 Bee is 3150 fps with the 210 TTSX.
