    I am shooting them @ 4,200fps out of my 338 Edge and love them. Retumbo or H1000 should do the trick.

    BTW I am interested in the Savage 338 fed barrel on your website but its a large shank.
    I need a small shank. Any chance of turning it down and re-threading ?

    I think you are full of it, there is no way you are getting that kind of velocity, stop telling stories out of school,

    RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

    I forgot to reply to the OP with Dennis nonsense, yes full cases of 7X, RL10, 4198, and 322 you will get 3000 fps, fun to shoot that is for sure.
