What grain bullet are you planning on?
just go by what ever the book says.
300gr bullets somewhere around 2950 fps
I would say more like 2850. 2950 would be a pretty stiff load. I may be wrong but I have seen very view .338 Lapua push a 300 grain over or near with 27-28 barrels.
We are getting 2890 out of a buddies 27" and yes it is pretty much a max load in his gun, but it's very accurate and single digit ES. I figure with two extra inches of barrel the OP might get a little more, but it will be a top end load.
A friends 338 with 29" 1-9 Bartlein managed 2850 (+/-) from a 300smk over 94.5gr Retumbo loaded to CIP length.
My TRG42 (26.5"??) gets 2675 from a 300smk over 90.5gr Retumbo at max magazine length.
Some barrels are faster than others, but I suspect 2900+ is going to be a tough number to reach from a 29-30" pipe with 300s magazine fed.
If you hang the bullet way out there and single load them, I suspect 2900+ will be a lot more likely.

MagicMike is a vulture
You've said this a few times in a few different threads. Given the absolute lack of substance in his posts I assume you're saying he is post whoring or something to that affect. I just want to make sure I understand, otherwise it would appear you have a problem with him personally.
