eipaul1 - looking at what you already have, and what you are considering as your next purchase - I should have been getting your advise 10-15 years ago before I made some of my choices.

I have so many chamberings that mirror each other it's kind of pointless. You've covered the whole range, and each one can serve a purpose others only partially overlap.

Do you need a 338? No. But a 338 will contine on the line of adding something your current calibers wouldn't to as well. I just started shooting my 338 recently. So far I like the caliber.
