[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2117301, member: 115299"] No disrespect to you sir. But the question asked was what is the most basically efficient cartridge to get to 2000 yards consistently. I never said the 338 Rum was faster than the 338/378 weatherby. My point was simply one of efficiency. The 338 Rum and Edge will do everything the 338 Lapua will do with slightly less powder. 338/378 uses 20% more powder than the Rum or the Lapua and gets you about 200 more yards at supersonic levels. Remember we are only going to 2000. We don’t need the 338/378 or it’s sharp recoil. You can get there and I have with the 30-378 but it is not near as enjoyable, efficient, or cost effective as the 338 RUM and if you load the 338-378 down your SDs go all over the map. That is apples to apples. And thanks they are pretty sexy bullets.😁 Not near as fat as those 30/378, 338/378s. But some like’um big!😂 Additionally several have suggested that you can do it with a big 7mm or 30 cal. And that is true but it is better served with a 338 cal bullet. IMO. If I were going to step up from the 338 RUM I would go Lapua Improved. [/QUOTE]
