Re: Is there a much better ELR round than the 338LM?

I really want another AI as I love my AW260 but the ballistics of the 375 are amazing! </div></div>
Ok, so now you're a fly in the web... I'm totally new to the 375CT experience.... I have one, I own one and, I've only shot the first of several bullets that are bad ass. I went out last weekend and shot it only a few times.. we were at a deer lease with my bud Darryl shooting from a platform that was a deer stand that was taken down and the floor was still there LOL. I was the only one...etc. that would want to shoot more than 200yds etc. but, they freaked when we put a target at 1830yds ( GPS + rangefinder ) ( cuz that was the distance to the place we could put a target on a bush ) I didn't have long range dope for it.. so I took a fucking wild ass guess at the 1050yd 10" plate... guessed at 20moa from the 100yd zero... BOOM.... exactly 1moa high.... shit... I'm thinking.... saw it in the scope... dialed down 1moa... centered it like a fucknig pinwheel.... Darryl shoot his 600yd steel for a while with the AR...I'm fucking with the ballistics software... so... I figure hastily ... ok we're at 1830 with the other target... ok, let's try 45moa from a 100yd zero........... BOOM, .... got him in the ear... come down .5 moa ... chest shot after chest shot after chest shot... simple...
My camera is MIA but, Darrel got a couple... He was on the 4 wheeler and sat off about 100yds from the target behind cover because you can not see a miss at 1830 when the bullets are impatcing the grass with no berm.. ( I have a NF NSX on it now but, I'm having a custom rail set up for my USO SN-9 right now ) I shot one then he said... "LEFT", I shot the next and got him in the ear... the next was .5 down and got him where you see that and, he brough the 4 wheeler back and, we lost the rest of the pics. ( he took these two with his iphone )
I wish I had photo skills but, the target was at the VERY back treeline where the big rifle is pointed... you just have to use the imagination.
That little cliff we were on is awesome.... We're going back in a couple of weeks... I'm going to set up and dusk and dawn and see how far I can pop the coyotes and or pigs when they're moving out in that field as far as you can see them. In the picture below, the first close in tree line is right at 600yds... the road with the turn in it... at the turn is about 1000yds per my rangfinder.
