[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2660443, member: 66917"] Just looking at the numbers the common higher BC 338 bullets are going to easily out run the common 375s out past 400 yards or so. You'd have to go pretty heavy in the 375 to get your BC up there but then you're giving up a lot of velocity. I get good consistent accuracy out of my 375 Ruger out to 400-500 yards but those lower BC bullets loose gas fast around 400-500yards. On big heavy game the 338 bullets will do great. There are issues reported on shots in the 500 and beyond region of bullets not expanding on deer/antelope size game. But, in the 2000fps and higher region either will really rock anything. [/QUOTE]
