I guess I can. I just don't see a need for me to have a .338 anything.


I killed almost three dozen elk and a couple of moose with smaller cartridges before I got what I consider my ultimate elk rifle, my .300 Weatherby.


I built a .375 RUM that I took on two African hunts where I shot a variety of critters from 20-30 pound Steenboks to 1500+ pound buffalo and eland. If I ever hunt coastal brown bears that will be my rifle of choice, and unless the USF&WS removes the ban on African lions and elephants, that rifle will remain one of my safe queens.


For any other North American hunt that I may ever do, my .300 Weatherby or one of my smaller rifles will do just fine.


But that's just my personal opinion.
