[QUOTE="Deleted member 71114, post: 1597993"] There was a day when most folks considered the 338LM in the same way as far as the expense involved in setting up and shooting, then in time it became the round of choice for shooting distance, Today the 375 Cheytac is the next norm for ELR type shooting, the equipment needed to run this round from actions, barrels stocks to brass and bullets are all common stream items now and carry less of the premium price tag. Folks can get brass a lot cheaper now versus the past and from multiple sources now, primers are the same as the 338LM and there’s a excellent supply of quality bullets. So to jump from a 300 to a 375 Cheytac and shoot competitive or for recreation is more comparative to shooting a 338LM if one was to be trying to increase his odds more for impacts at 1800 plus yards in any given day with the wind. We can all shoot well on the prime mornings and evenings in calm conditions but the heavier bullet will prevail in the hands of a good shooter shooting both rifles. A favorite of mine that I wish I had time to mess around with is the 300 Norma - a excellent round for someone wanting to start shooting distance as well. My comments here are only my opinions and recommendations from my experience pushing bullets out to 3500+ yards at times with fair success and consistency under time restraints. This is a great place to share info, but I have seen times where folks that don’t know the difference and are trying to learn can be swayed some from questionable responses that sometimes are passed on in good faith but are inconsistent from what they heard or? Even at times I could be off some but my comments normally are hands on or researching that we have done in order to be more consistent in the ELR environment and at the given moment when its your turn to get it done on the firing line. There are many here that have good tips and advice to share here, we all can learn from each and everyone. We run a couple of 375 Cheytac Improved - 375 Snipetacs with great success. Last year I stepped up the game some and ran a 375 Warner ( a shortened and necked down 50 cal to a 375) - a excellent round for a recreational shooter wanting a laser, pushed a 400 grain with ease at 3361 fps - but a little tuff on the barrel (throat) only if you have to shoot 15 rounds none stop in 9 minutes or less. So this year we expanded the necks up to a 416 thus a 416 Warner to allow more room for the hot gases and burning powder to get through without working on the throat. If I was just plinking here and there and not in a hurry to have to repeat as many multiple shots the 375 Warner hits a target with authority. osoh JH [/QUOTE]
