Is the .338 Whisper a 500yd elk round?

MM,
I was thining along the same lines just few nights ago. "A quite gun, comparatively compact, long barrel life, yet still haveing 500-600 yard capabilities." As far as penetration goes I do not see that being a problem. If I currently had the funds I think that I would just go with a 50 cal and lob 750gr bullets out there, Although, from what I have read the .338's seem to be producing better accuracy.

In my mind I would rather put a can on a full power 308 win. (I prefer AWC's Thundertrap). Much better tragectory and the sound signature is comparable to my ruger 10/22 rifle.

Boyd,

There is much I do not know about looong range shooting. I think I spelled it out sorta clearly on the "pushing the .338" thread.

Thanks, MM
