[QUOTE="Lapua guy, post: 483443, member: 28489"] I didn't know Wby was going to offer 338 Lapua. I had heard many people weren't happy with the accuracy of the 338-378's They have a helluva bang but it seems the belted magnum just wasn't grouping well enough in their stock guns. The Lapua seems to shoot more accurately acrossed a variety of weapons, so I guess it makes sense. The 338s are all great calibers. I am really happy with all the ones I have shot. I will say that a 1000 yard 338 Win shot is pretty impressive. I always thought of mine as a 500 and under gun when I had it. Then again, I have killed a deer at 900 yards with my nephew's stock Ruger M77 in 270. Had a simple 3-9x40 Leupold VX-I on it too, so anything is possible with the right amount of Kentucky Windage :D [/QUOTE]
