Barnes #4 does not mention 760 for the .338 WM 185 gr.
Their hottest loads are:
Varget 63.5 3,013 fps
AA2700 70.0 3,011 fps
IMR4350 71.5 3,067 fps
Hunter 78.5 3,141 fps
IMR4831 73.5 3.046 fps
H4831SC 76.0 3,018 fps
The .340 Weatherby has a 760 load (86.0 grains) that shows a blistering 3,247 fps.
My chronograph and the Barnes Promotional Publication (Reloading Manual #4) have not matched very well. It is a waste of money.
