[QUOTE="dgr416, post: 472506, member: 1208"] Read Elmer Keiths books and see how he used and worked on the 33 caliber.The wildcats they made were blown out 375 H&H necked downwhich was the 340 weatherby . Then he used the 338-378 Weatherby shortened to hold 100 grs of powder .Then he came up with the 338-378 KT in the 1960s.It was equal to the 338 lapula.He really liked the 275 gr speer bullets which has a decient bc but its no longer made.I have about 4 boxes left to play with.The 275 gr swift and kodiak are other good 338-378,338 rum and 338 lapula bullets.The powders of yesturday were not slow enough for the 338-378 except a few such as H-870 and H-1000 .The 33 caliber is coming of its own.I tried the 300 wm but it waas not much better than the 30-06 to me.Yes calibers such as the 416 barrett and the 408 big out more long range guns of the future.The 338 caliber is about the best practicle hunting round for a rifle under 10 pounds.
