[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2390293, member: 103947"] While I'm no expert nor do I have experience at 3K with my 338 LM improved, I do know that it will make 3000 yards. Just like the 6.5s will make a mile. I've been saying the high BC heavy 338s are much better in environmental conditions than the heavy .284/.308 bullets for 2K without question just from the additional bullet weight. The .375/.416 bolt gun is the answer for beyond 2K IMO. Sure mine will make the range but beyond that 2K, the 300 grain bullet seems light. The 350+ in bullet weight gets the nod for the extra 1000 yards. The Cheytac cartridge is a big step up in case capacity and the 350 grain minimum bullet weight is what's needed for consistent target impacts. Impacts won't be seen any better but the percentage of hits will be much better. [/QUOTE]
