[QUOTE="AKdan, post: 1483274, member: 83800"] Aside from being able to find a can for the larger bores....it seems that there is a rather large step up from the 338 to the 375 for barrels and bullets. Wysongdog mentioned the carbon barrels. Proof makes a 375 barrel in 22” but it is a 1:12 twist a little slow for 330-350 gr. Short 338 carbon barrels are fairly limited (carbon 6, custom jobs). Seems like 375 barrels are catered mostly to the H&H and cheytac groups for length, shank diameter, and twist rates. It seems there is a larger selection of hunting bullets for the H&H(low BC) or cheytac(really heavy). That gap between the two (where the 375-338 Norma /375 lapua would fit) really leave me looking at the 338. [/QUOTE]
