[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1342640, member: 12443"] Both are fine cartridges, but neither would offer good performance at the distance your looking at. I have a shortened version 30x378 which is identicle to the 300 Norma as for case capacity , and it is my favorite long range hunting gun. I also have a 338 Big Baer, and my son has a 338x378. There is roughly a 250 ft per second velocity difference between the two using 300 gr bullets, and when you get to 1500 that difference becomes very noticeable. We feel that when hunting beyond 1000 yds the 338s are very helpful. That said weve never killed a deer at 1500 yds, and on average most are well under 1000. By and large the conditions dictate how far you shoot and not the cartridge choice. There is also a major difference between just shooting for fun and hunting and shooting at animals. [/QUOTE]
