338WM & 225grain projectiles

I have been looking at the various reloading manuals and there seems to be some wide ranging expectations around this bullet weight and velocities. Recipes seem to vary from mid 2,700fps up to almost 3,000fps. What is a realistic expectation staying within the Saami limitations? Thoughts?

2800-2900 with a 24" rifle, more with a 26" but there are so many things that go into it
