[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1903358, member: 87243"] A 338 rum gives more energy than that, my 24" .338 NM sending 270 gr badland bulldozers (.803 G1 bc) at 2840 fps has 2712 ft lbs at 900. However, that is at the high elevation I hunt elk at, if you ran the numbers for a 375 rum w/350 at the same elevation, it very well may outrun it, I am unsure. I haven't compared, I just know the numbers for my set up. But if you could get the same energy and likely less drift and drop than the 375 rum, with significantly less recoil, the .338 makes more sense. Jumping up to the bigger cases like the 37 xc and up is really where the 375 steps away for sure though. I digress. Sorry for derailing......now about that .264 win mag!!! If you don't mind a different headstamped brass, I suggest snatching up some ADG 7 mag brass, works good after simply running it through the die, and is the best brass available for the .264 wm at this time, in my opinion.
