[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 323453, member: 505"] I like my 338 RUM also. The velocity of the 338-378 wby is nice but it brings more issues to the table (expense #1). Bottom line is I have killed everything just as dead with my 338 RUM as with the extra 200 fps in the 338-378. The extra velocity allows me to shoot out to a half mile easily and quickly with mil dots and not have to fool with clicks. Very important in many hunting situations. The 338-378 and 338-416 are expensive to build unless you have a wby mk 5 action to work with but will easily outperform the ultramag stuff by quite a bit. That extra velocity is very evident when hitting game and quite impressive over the 338-300 or edge and 338 RUM but like I said they are just as dead either way. You are not that far from me. We can pull a few rifles out and shoot and decide for yourself. With the gun you have I think you are good to go without the extra expense. I have two 338-300 ultramags or edge and you can shoot those with yours and see that there is no difference. [/QUOTE]
