33 Nosler
- Thread starter Gatehouse
- Start date
The 378 Weatherby can go 2900 fps and that is from a 20 year old manual.
I bet that with newer powders it could go 3000 fps.
Same here.

I saw that too.
Oh c'mon... I guarantee the 'ballistics experts' will 'prove' beyond a doubt, that's faster, with less recoil, less powder blah, blah, blah...
Nosler®, Inc. is excited to introduce the patriarch of the Nosler® cartridge family – the 33 Nosler®. The “33” shares the same parent case (404 Jeffery) as the rest of the family but fires .338 caliber bullets which are generally known for being tough on big game as well as having high Ballistic Coefficients and Sectional Densities for excellent interior, exterior and terminal ballistics.
The 33 Nosler is capable of propelling a 225gr AccuBond at 3025 fps and the brand new 265gr AccuBond Long Range at 2775 fps. That’s 275 fps faster and 20% more energy than the 338 Winchester Magnum using the same length action and 25fps faster than the 338 Lapua Magnum at the muzzle while burning 18% less powder.
The 33 Nosler® is a SAAMI standardized cartridge making for consistent brass and chamber dimensions industry wide. Nosler will be supporting this new cartridge with Nosler® Brass, Trophy Grade™ Ammunition and naturally, their full line of M48 rifles in 26” barrel configurations which should be made available for delivery by the end of Q1, 2017.
The initial 2017 Trophy Grade™ Ammunition offerings for the 33 Nosler® are aimed at providing the ideal blend of velocity, power and downrange terminal performance and are listed below:
Nosler Trophy Grade Ammunition – 225gr AccuBond
3025fps & 4589 ft/lbs at the muzzle
Nosler Trophy Grade LR Ammunition – 265gr AccuBond LR
2775fps & 4545 ft/lbs at the muzzle
Nosler will also be offering a Match Grade Ammunition offering for the 33 Nosler detailed below:
Nosler Match Grade Ammunition – 300gr Custom Competition HPBT
2550fps at the muzzl

So, if the 33 Nosler is essentially going to duplicate the 338 Lapua I wonder how close it would get to the 416 Rigby's traditional (not the max) velocities were we to neck it up.
What a load of wasted words...........My Mod 70 Supergrade 340 Wby drives 250 Partitions @ over 3100 fps and 225s at over 3250 fps from a 26" barrel and I get to use the W-W 375 H&H reformed brass again...............33 Nosler ......Yaaaawwwnnn..........ZZZZZZZ.

This from the mad scientist himself?
Do you suppose there'll be enough shoulder to get a .510" bullet in the case mouth?
So........what exactly are the cartridge drawings of?
The top appears to be a 338 Edge, but the bottom belted one I don't recognize............similar to a 338X300 WM, but not a 338 WM. Is the Nosler just a SAAMI'd 338 Edge?

let me guess fifteen reloads and you can lift the bolt with your pinky finger even when it's +30c outside?
But Gate, the bottom is not a 338 WM because it has a case length of 2.50 not 2.62.............and the top shows a case length of 2.85 which is the 375 RUM case length, which is in fact the 338 Edge, if I'm not mistaken. The 338 RUM has a case length of 2.76 almost .100" shorter than the Edge.
Not even worthy of a reply, I have chronograph data for every velocity I post, and it ain't from a Chrony............not sure about the number of loads from a case because I have so many rifles and brass for each one that I doubt I could fire 5 loads from every case in the rest of my life. But I do know that every load and velocity I post is safe and reusable in the rifle in which I fire it...............Maybe you should buy a 340 and play with it before disparaging those of us who have............
