[QUOTE="MMERSS, post: 880005, member: 63748"] Currently a Cheytac based action and case would meet the demands. With the cost of performance there is additionally the cost of customer demand and availability. Would a 400gr or 380gr lead core bullet with this configuration perform to the same precision capabilities of a 338LM/IMP cartridge and action? I don't know. What would the cost of this benefit be compared to the current 338 systems available? I don't know. The "I don't know" is due to I'm not aware of a lead core bullet in this configuration. There are already 375 Cheytac based rifles available, most of us are aware of this, with most seeming to shoot the 350 SMK or mono's. There could be better options available with a lead core based bullet outside the SMK and it's current BC. Mono's provide an advantage to BC to the SMK but lack the form factor advantage of lead based bullets. [/QUOTE]
