I just need not to go and streatch out its legs and see what it will do.

[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 976654, member: 10429"] here is my 2 cents...I had a 257 weatherby and I know its not a 338weth...Well mine shot the factory 115 at 3/4 inch 100yard groups. I tried several loads and never could get it to shoot better than the factory weatherby loads. It sound like the 338/378 is a larger case capacity but speed is not everything. I sold mine and got a savage 6.5x284 and it shot out of the box several different loads at 3/4 inch. I worked up a load with the 140VLD and its a 1/2 inch gun as long as I do my part. For me my next rifle will be a full custom rig. Honestly its what you want and yes its good to make an educated decision on things but if you know the product you will be getting or if you go with a fully custom rifle that will do everything you are wanting it to do then I would spend the extra doe and be happy. also weatherby brass is expensive to say the least..but its also getting hard to find the RUM brass as well.
