[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1784290, member: 12443"] Actually, Sierra made a few lots of 320 gr 338 SMKs prior to settling on the 300 gr. I have about 75 or so of them still laying around. As for the 338x378 at least for hunting, where as a rule the extreme distance isn’t a factor, many feel the 250 gr is a better choice due to the velocity increase up to about 1500 yds. My son has a 30” 9 twist on his, and he has trouble reaching 3000 FPS with 300 gr bullets. My b i l has a 36” on his using the 416 case and 3050 is what he gets if he wants accuracy. If velocity with 300 gr bullets is what your looking for, then best to go with a bigger case than the 378 WBY. [/QUOTE]
