.. I think you should stick with the 338, if you can shoot it accurately and consistently. If you look at the ballistics of the 225gr bullets, I think you'll be surprised at how flat it shoots. I, personally think that we (shooters in general) are not going towards "bigger and badder".... I see more posts about hunting elk with 243's and 6.5's.. and hunting deer with 223's.... I still believe in the old adage, use enough gun. Of course the 7mm and 300 Ultras will definitely be enough gun, but you already have the 338, so, why mess with it?
