RE: 338 Ultra-mag why isn't it more popular?
I was kind of wondering the same Ol elk. I've bought one, measured and loaded my first handloads. Haven't shot it yet though... This will be the deepest gaze into a recoil gun I've ever taken. Time will tell if it will be too much.
They don't seem to sell very well. What motivated me into action was first the intention to do so at some time, and 2nd the new gun at $150.00 reduced tag made it happen now.
I was hoping you were going to be the source of advice on high recoil shooting tactics! No muzzle brake on mine. Setting the loaded round next to a 30.06 is a little humbling.
