What kind of accuracy for a .338LM with a 24" barrel.

I'm looking for a .338 Lapua Magnum rifle and the new SigArms Blaser Long Range Sporter 2 (LRS2) caught my eye.

My only concern is the fact that it has a 24" barrel. I wonder what kind of velocity it will generate with a 250gr or 300gr HPBT round?

My 2 300WM rifles both have 26" barrels so I think a 24" barrel on something chambered in .338LM is too short.

Does anyone have any info on the long range ballistics of this rifle?

I can't really see getting a rifle that won't use the full potential of the .338LM round. I plan on using this rifle to reach the 1 mile mark. That's a LOOONG WAY out there and I'll need all the velocity I can get to keep the round supersonic.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
 
The 338 Lapua Magnum barrel is not available for delivery in the US yet! Take a number and sit down, Sig is not known for doing anything in a hurry.
