Im not going to lie i did consider a 350 Rem Mag but didnt get it. I have a 300 WSM and a 338 Ultra Mag. I have no problem taking those marginal shots with my 300 WSM. Some goot 180gr Barnes TSX go right through a deer from front to back and break the shoulder on the way out. I take the 338 to Canada with me as a backup gun. I had a 300 Weatherby also but just sold it a few weeks ago.
