[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 472269, member: 3745"] +1 on the 338/378, it and the "improved" variations are great long range rounds. Like LTLR said, the 338 cal is beginning to get the respect deserves as a long range hunting round. There are plenty of smaller cal rounds that have high BC bullets, but when reaching out to 1000+ on elk sized critters, the extra energy those 300 grain bullets pack is sure a plus. I'm sure it will do quite a number on a griz at 20 yards too!! I have not run into that problem personally though.:) There seems to be a lot of interest now in the even larger calibers like the .375 and .416 as new high BC bullets become available. What the heck am I supposed to do with this closet full of .338s, when the .375 becomes the "hot" new gota have caliber???:D [/QUOTE]
