[QUOTE="Marine sniper, post: 515206, member: 4768"] I have the 240 SMK, the Berger 230 (when it comes out) and the Hornady 225 (already ordered) on the recipe list for the 30-378. I decided against the lighter bullets because now that almost everyone has a lazer range finder a very flat trajectory is not as important as it used to me. I remember the days of picking a bullet based on a series of compromises; trajectory, wind drift, energy, etc. I used to shoot 190 Bergers in my 300 Wby, but as soon as I got a lazer I stepped up to 210 Bergers......might give them a shot in the 30-378 as well. I almost bought Joel's 375 Improved (I was just a little late on the trigger) so the bigger calibers interest me. I have a windrunner 408 as well, but I am not sure I agree the .338's are superior. Until they start winning 1000 yard benchrest stuff on a regular basis I would not call them superior to the 30's. I am not interested in ultra long range work with the 30-378 as much as I am killing elk and deer at 12-1400 yards. That being said a .338 is in my near future, still picking a caliber. [/QUOTE]
