[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 472291, member: 505"] RDM, your exactly right. I have at least 30 or so big 338's of all kinds collected since the 70's. Over the past few years bullets have become available to make the 338's even better. However now there are some 375 bullets coming out that look very good. I shot my 378 Weatherby with the new 350 grain SMK's and it was amazing what it would do long range. I was slinging the 350 out at 2900 fps and shooting extremely well at very long range. With the right bullets the straight 378 weatherby is at least as good as the 338-378. I shot some 325 grain bullets out of my 338-378 with a bc of over 1 out to 1500 yards and that looked pretty good. I was hitting 2900 fps with those also. Fortunate to live in the desert with all this unlimited spaces BLM to shoot in. I put some of the 350 SMK's in my 375 H&H AI and it was a very legitimate 1000 yard elk rifle. I agree with these new 375 bullets look out 338's. [/QUOTE]
