[QUOTE="dig, post: 603616, member: 26939"] Great reply Long Time Ranger! The 338-378 is superior and Weatherby Actions are great out of the box actions. McMillan has a few stocks that will fit now including the A5! I have been mulling over the ballistic apps and charts and unless you are shooting at 1,200 yards plus the 250ish grainers have a clear advantage in drop and very close in windage. I just ordered a box of the 285 grns Hornady Match and look forward to seeing if I can safely get to 3,000 fps (your experience would help). I agree compared to the cost of travel/hunts/etc. . . bullets are cheap. Looking at the Barnes as LRX as well. I also wonder why the 378 Weathby is not more popular, other than it bites harder than any rifle incuding a 500 NE I have shot? Thinking of rebarelling another Weatherby to 378 Weatherby and extending the range. [/QUOTE]
