I own both--Only thing i say about the 338-378 is that you do not have check the bbl., after squeezing the trigger. I load 100 gr H-4831 behind a 250 gr. Nosler Partition with gm215m primers. Anything out to 500 yds is dust.

sav,

I own both the .340 Weatherby Magnum and a .338 Winchester Magnum. In my book anything larger than the .340 Weatherby is over kill for the .338 caliber. Besides I don't believe that the RUM version will be around that much longer. Sales are way down and the �bean counters� at Remington are notorious for dropping cartridges when sales stay down. The .338-378 is a monster in the recoil department and I can see no need for one. Lawdog

don't these have enough recoil to make your eyes water.
