Any thoughts would be appreciated. My experience with ELR has been with a 300 Norma and a 338 Lapua out to 2200 yards and I'm looking to stretch it further. I will be getting a barrel chambered for my AI AXMC in either 33XC or 37XC which will be single fed. Cost for components isn't really a deciding factor due to limited use. Most of my ELR shooting will be in central Nebraska in the sandhills which leads me to the 37XC which should have a larger splash signature for seeing misses in the tall grass and light soil.
I know these calibers aren't actually out in the wild yet, but I was wondering what some of you experienced ELR shooters thought. What would be the pros and cons of a 338 bullet/256 grains going 3350 fps vs a 375 bullet/364 grains going 3100 fps in field conditions?
