The SAAMI PSI Nos for the 378
« on: January 21, 2006, 10:40:55 AM »
I was wondering what the SAAMI PSI #s were for the 338 378. I know the 338 RUM's saami PSI #s.  Think they would be close? :D

I do not believe that there are SAAMI specs for the .338-378 cartridge.  The highest pressure load that Hodgdon lists is 54,300 cup, so I assume that the max is 55,000 cup, the same as for the parent .378 Weatherby.  Most Weatherby calibers have 65,000 psi maximums.

Thanks Lone Star,  I thought that they would be around the same as the 338 RUM which is 65000 psi.
