[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1329030"] The 338 AX is a 338 Lapua "Improved" chambering unique to Allen Precision Rifles. Based on the 338 Lapua. The 338-378 is one of the caliber "versions" of the 378 Weatherby, which also includes the 416 Weatherby and 460 Weatherby. I think the 338 Allen Magnum, a much larger case than the 338 AX or 338-378 and I believe it is based on a 505 Gibbs "long" case. Same as the 338 Snipetac and CheyTac chamberings. If one were to "improve" the 338-378 Weatherby the same way the 300 Ackley Improved is an improved 300 Weatherby then the case capacity and performance would be somewhere in between the 338 AX and the 338 AM.
