Looking for some advice. I am planning a Colorado Elk and Mule Deer hunt in November. This will be my first western hunt. I have both a 338, and a 7mmRUM. Any advice as to which caliber will best serve me? Not sure how long the shots might be. I can shoot both calibers equally well. The 338 is stainless/synthetic, and the 7mmRUM is stainless/laminated. Also, if you feel one caliber is better than the other, what bullet would you re commend?

Again, this is my first Big game hunt, so any advice will be a huge help. I have asked some folks the same question, and their responce mostly is its a toss-up.

Thanks in advance..............
