[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 120188, member: 10"] Just checked the LRB web site and there is no J40 listing for the 375 cal. I suspect these are listed in the law enforcement only area. Again, not easily attainable by the general public. I think you are comparing the 338-408 with conventional bullets to a 375-408 with "super" bullets that are expensive as hell, hard to get and need specially designed barrels to get them to shoot well, just like the 408 CT. How about you put one of them LRB J36 300 gr 375 bullets in that 375-408 of yours with a BC of 0.640 and see how it compares to a 338-408 with a 300 gr SMK. I suspect the 338 will spank it ballistically. Again, not picking a fight. I fully agree on several of your points, such as: -With the right bullet the 375 would be a superior round ballistically. -The 375 should offer better throat life. -The 375 should prove less finicky and less effected by changing temp conditions because of the higher expansion ratio. BUT!! You need the special bullets and barrels to get it to work as you are saying. This is my only point. If you put a 1.00 BC bullet in the 338 AM I would bet you still have 2900 yard reach super sonic. I just find it interesting that you do not offer the bullet information that you are using in your 375 but you point out the 300 gr SMK in the 338 version. Apples to Oranges my friend. If your going to make a fair comparision you need to keep the playing field even and use componants that we can all get. If not, its just interesting reading and thats about it.
