[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2055455, member: 115299"] Hey ladies and gentlemen! Just picked up a Sako M995 TRG-S in 30-378 to have my smith build a 375/338 AI on.😃 Trouble is never owned a 30-378 so I thought I‘d play with it before I disassembled it. This gun is strictly a long range gun. Specifically building a gun to play with shooting to the 2 mile mark (3520 yards+). We are shooting 6.5CM, 300WM and 338 RUM to 1250+ on a regular basis on silhouettes and have shot the RUM to 2000. Just wanting to see how far we can push the envelope with standard magnum cartridges without stepping up to a cheytac length action and I love all things Sako. Anyway here is my three part question. 1) Does anyone have any pet long range loads for 30-378 and what kind of performance are you getting out of that cartridge with what bullet. Shooting 215 and 220 Bergers in my 300WM. 2) Has anyone fooled around with the 375/338 AI and if so what kind of performance are you getting from it with what barrel length and profile? 3) Is there some other cartridge I should be looking at to build on this platform for this purpose?
