[QUOTE="supercrossbmx69, post: 473042, member: 29593"] which would you professionals out there choose? according to the G7 ballistics chart using a 325 gr. RMB with a bc of 1.035 for the 338 at est. 3300 fps, and a 370 gr. RMB with a bc of .924 at an est. 3200 fps, the 338 has more energy and with a 10 mph wind the 338 only would be pushed 6 MOA vs the 375 would be pushed 8 MOA, which i dont understand because the 375 bullet weighs 45 gr. more, but the 338 bucks the wind better? and the 375 starts off with 8411 ft-lbs of energy and the 338 starts with 7857 ft-lbs of energy but at 2000 yrds the 338 has 1620 fps and 1893 ft lbs of energy, and the 375 only has 1416 fps and 1647 ft-lbs of energy. if this is all correct, considering good 375 bullets are way harder to find the 338, then why have i heard some people say they prefer the 375 over the 338? the only thing i can think of that the 375 has the advantage over the 338 is barrel life?
