[QUOTE="groper, post: 403658, member: 12550"] claw, as ive said before, this evolution is only concerning the super long bullets... theres nothing stopping you or anyone else from doing a 375cal right now! simply use 355gr bullets which already have a higher BC than most 338cal offerings and delivers more energy downrange, it is ALREADY superior. These super long bullets will only put the 375 EVEN FURTHER in front. If you build a 338, what will you feed it? 300gr SMK is about your only choice for ELR hunting, everything else has poor BC or doesnt expand properly. The bergers dont work from cheytac cases, too much velocity and they are bird shot... If you build a 375, then you have the 350gr SMK. So your options are the same really... except your barrel will last longer and youll have more energy with a 375... The other thing with the gain twist barrels, you wont be able to get one for a year or so from bartlein unless you get preferential treatment, so this puts being able to use these flash new bullets a long way off for most of us anyway...
