[QUOTE="358 Guy, post: 1864542, member: 60067"] The original 338-378 developed by Elmer Keith and a fellow by the last name of Thompson shortened the 378 WEA case to make this round. It was originally called the 338-378 KT. When Weatherby brought out their version, they simply necked down the 378 case without shortening it. The belief at the time was that the full length case would be very overbore, an therefore inefficient. [/QUOTE]
