"Point is...a nice light, accurate, durable rifle will be more important than one that tosses out big $$$$$$.... accuracy is always king." EMT
I put the "$$$$$" in EMT's statement; now 100% true ! BTW ~ I use my 7MM RM or my .338WM, if they got bears there. |

Lucky,

As the owner of two 300 RUM's and a 338 Win Mag., I will say that for elk where I hunt, in the heavy timber, the 338 is a far superior round. The 338 will reach out as just far as the 300 rum, you just got to know the trajectory. It doesnt matter what you shoot, at 500+ yards all cartridges fall like a rock. The bullet drop is a known, it is consistent as long as you have consistent loads. If you know the range and dial your turret to match the range, it is no different than shooting 100 yards. The unkown factor is wind, wind might be calm where you are sitting and blowing 400 yards down range, that is where a heavier bullet will effected less. That is why I perfer the 338 over the 30 caliber.

I'm not knocking anyone else's choice of rifle. I'm just tired of people knocking mine when they know it is superior in every way.
So, before you accuse someone of "magnum bashing" on another thread, you might be the wiser to consider that you might be bringing it on yourself, and that maybe your position isn't quite as firm as it should be to be making statements as bold as yours tend to be regarding this particular rifle (which many of us have seen pictures of before). If it works for you, that's really all that matters, isn't it? |

It also has better ballistics than any other rifle that I know of.
