[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 850660, member: 13632"] I've been trying to convince myself that you could get some gain with the 375 vs the 338 but I just can't make it come out without getting some more powder under it. In the 338 the RUM and Lapua are very close but the RUM can only see some gains by adding barrel and even then it's not much. The Lapua will add 150-200 fps by simply improving it, this would get more powder under the 375 also and may get you into the 2950-3000 fps range with a 350gr bullet. You really need to push the 350 gr SMK at least 100fps faster than a 300gr OTM to even start to see a slight edge at ELR ranges, I can't come up with a way to make it happen without at least an improved Laupa case.
