Thanks again for your replies. I don't reload, but have thought about it time and time again. A few of the replies recommended to keep the .338, it will handle my needs. Maybe thats the way to go. My original thinking was to get a rifle for Deer hunting that could also be used for Elk, Black Bear, Caribou, or maybe even Moose. Mostly the rifle will used for Deer and Black Bear in Pennsylvania. I tend not to use the .338 for Deer because it seems a little to much, and it makes a day at the range not much fun. Thats why I was leaning towards the 7mm Ultra Mag. I don't think it would be as rough at the range, but would handle all my needs. So as you can see, I'm still undecided. Any additional replys would be great.....
