[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 658909, member: 505"] The 338-378 wby was a very popular extreme range elk cartridge in the west and particularly Colorado during the 70's and 80's recording 1 mile kills. I knew several guys that recorded 1 mile elk kills during that time with the 338-378 wby and the other popular one the 338-416 Rigby improved which held a little more powder and got a few extra fps. The popularity of it during that time influenced wby to introduce it into their line of cartridges during the late 90's. I collected seven of them over that time period when it was a wildcat. It will still outperform just about everything out there in that class rifle. [/QUOTE]
