[QUOTE="338believer, post: 416193, member: 26325"] Hello. I have used 30/378 AND 338/378 I currently own both. My 30/378 is what we call a carry in gun for long range out to 1400 yrds with 200smk bullets the gun weighs 15 lbs and it has a 32 inch long barrel. you need at least 30 to get the vel. out of the thing. And it is a barrel burner. everything comes at a price. 30 cals are good to about 1400yrds max I now guys that have killed deer further but from my only personal experiences 1000 to 1200 yrds is about it. Thats why I went to the 338/378 whby. This is no carry in gun it weighs 90 lbs it was built for one reason kill game out to 2000yrds. This gun has a 38inch krieger 2 inch dia. barrel with and has a muzzle break added. I don't won't it to move on the bench when it goes off. You can watch the wake of the bullet go through the scope well beyond a 1000yrds. The 300smk at 3100fps is incredable to say the least. My good hunting buddy built a 338/408 chey tac its expensive and only nets another 150 fps. We have killed evrything with the 300 smk whitetail to elk. It really pounds a elk at 1600yrds. If you want a hunting rifle not a bench rifle I would try the 338 edge or the improved version of the edge. The 338 bullet is supperior to the 30 cal. take care and have fun. [/QUOTE]
