[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 354137, member: 6152"] In order to make a recommendation on an "Ultra Long Range Caliber, we really need to know what you consider ultra long range. The .338 Lapua will certainly take care of the itch at long range. Using the .408 case will give you a leg up on the Lapua. Your analysis when comparing the .338-.408 to the .375-.408 is right on. Yes, the .375 will offer more energy as you are carrying a larger, heavier bullet, but the current production LR bullet is fair at best. My experience in shooting both at extreme ranges, is that the .375 and the .338 are ballistic twins out to lets say 1800-2000 yards. That being said, it you want to step up past the Lapua, the .338-.408 is the logical choice. Soon there will be a few more LR .338 bullets on the market, which makes this choice that much more desirable. I've shot a few tiny groups with the .338-.408 and production bullets at one mile. All of my .338's on the .408 case are improved. [/QUOTE]
