[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2074700, member: 115299"] Thanks Lance for the information. I have a 338 Rum that we are getting great results with and if elk hunting would most likely use it or my 300 WM. This gun could possibly be a back up but is going to primarily be a long range play toy for shots beyond 1000 yards out to possibly 1 to 2 miles. My gunsmith had suggested the Nosler but then I ask about the Norma. He suggested going full length 300-338 Lapua Improved since I was already thinking about 375-338 AI. He already has the reamers for the 300-338 and 28 nosler. I would have to buy the others. The problem with the nosler for me is barrel life and bullet weight and performance at extended ranges. The problem with the 300-338 is I would have to fireform the brass and turn the necks, also I don't know that it does anything any better than the 30-378 I already have. I think you are correct the 300 NMI is the way to go particularly as it relates to efficiency. I don't know that I would loose much over the 300-338 or the 30-378, do you? Fireforming brass does not both me as I have owed other AIs inn the past. It is turning the necks that concerns me on the 300-338. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
