[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 383406, member: 505"] You need a Mk5 wby or a custom action. The Sako TRG is lighter and works but that much power on the mickey mouse trg lug system doesn't work well. Like the lapua improved, the improved 338-378's with the shoulder moved forward some seem to work very well. My standard 338-378's average about 3050 fps with the 300 smk, 3300 fps with the 250 grainers, 3475 fps with the 225's and 3600 fps with the 200's. The improved ones get a little more. The extra velocity helps in the wind by reducing time of flight to target therefore less wind effect on the projectile. They work best with some freebore which some guys don't like. To me if it shoots, it shoots. [/QUOTE]
