Not sure about scope choice yet. Any suggestions? I have a 4.5-14 Leupold with the B&C reticle. Still pondering what dies to get.

Boomer,

The VX-3 4.5-14 B&C scope would be just about perfect on your 338-378 Wby.
I have a Mark 4 4.5-14x40mm on my 338 RUM. Its a versatile power range for a fast 338.

I went with Redding deluxe set as I have with all my calibers as I have a T7 Turret press and like it a lot! Hunting out West I prefer at least a 20x as 5 to 600 yard shots can be had easily, does not look that far but once the range finder stops shaking and it gives you a distance it's decision time I went with a Mark 4 6.5-20x50 and it really works nice with M1 dials and I have it sighted in at 100 yds and I just dial in my MOA for my yardage which I have taped to my stock!

What that chart tells you is how much travel you have from a 100yd zero in MOA. It also tells you that the clicks aren't exact MOA adjustment. It took 8 MOA worth of clicks to go 7.5 MOA and 15 1/2 MOA worth of clicks to go a true 15 MOA. So your clicks are probably closer to 1/4" rather than 1/4 MOA. It's like any other scope and you need to shoot the distance to find the real click values for drop instead of going off a ballistic program.

Idaho, you nailed the interpretation of the scope chart.

Fotis Never owned a 338-378..... Sorry

Loaded for plenty though. I still have a set of dies I do not need.

Maybe I could talk you out of those dies and some load data

I still have dies and brass from the one I built 15+ years ago as well. I have no clue what the loads I shot in mine though. I was shooting 300gr Sierra SMK's when they first came out.

Are you looking to part with them?

 

[FOTIS]

yes I am

Appreciate the translation of the work sheet that my gunsmith did on my scope when he installed it and understand it much better now and it does help greatly guys!
