[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 2033490, member: 12443"] Ive been watching bullets fly across wide windy valleys for a very long time at this point. As we all know, we can dial a modern scope in order to make many cartridges make the trip. But just making the trip is where all the similarities end. All 338s are not created equal just because they can use the high BC 300 gr bullets. In fact some might actually perform better by not using them. If you improve the 338 Lapua case, you will end up about where you would start out by using a 378 case, or a 416 case. and of coarse you can also improve those cases. But you still wont have what you would have with 408 size cases. And that creates issues with your present loading equipment, as in large enough. So there is much to consider, but if you were to watch them all fly on the same day, you will know at least where they are in order of performance. I doubt any gunsmith is more up to speed on 338s than Bruce Baer from Willow Hill Pa. which is an exit on the Pa Turnpike. If your serious, id at least recommend talking with him. [/QUOTE]
