I have more than one of both so I do like both. I think the .338 family is the perfect caliber for elk. In my experience between me and hunting buddies, I’ve been a part of many harvested elk with both calibers. In my experience, I have also found .338 Win Mags to be inherently accurate. I have...

Maybe try a Sierra or other 200 grain bullet or any of the ELD bullets in that 200-220 range. I have had a few rifles that would only shoot heavier bullets for the caliber and it looks like you have only gone up to 180. I have always had luck with heavier bullets in my rifles as a general...

I thought his mentors were his Dad and Corn Pop?

Is this Biden’s speech writer?

I’ve been attending gun shows frequently over the last year or so. As someone pushing 50, I love seeing young men and women at gun shows regardless of their firearm preferences. It’s nice to see them carrying on an American tradition. I have really noticed a lack of interest in classic or...

Where are you located?

The last few times we have had ammo and component panic, the prices never returned to what we like to think of as “normal”. There are lots of people that told me I was crazy for buying powder at $21 a pound and primers at $40 a brick after the 2008 election because the. “Inflated prices” would...

If you don’t count supplies, I’m not into it that much. RCBS

I’m still waiting for the prices to be .”good” again from the Obama election panic in 2008. That was the first time I saw powder over $20 a pound. Remember when that was expensive?

Ugh

Based on what I’m hearing and what you’ve done so far, I would start with your scope. I have had a similar situation twice, and both times it was the scope. Crosshairs we’re messed up in one scenario and I remounted the scope in the second scenario. The first scenario I mounted a second scope...

There is brass and factory ammo available on gunbroker for a small fortune.

I would definitely go with the 300 Win Mag in your situation. Factory ammo is more common to see and the same could be said for reloading components. Try and shoot the heavier bullets as they carry out better at longer ranges. 190-200 grain projectiles have been my favorites in the 300 Win Mag...

I learned the hard way on gunbroker myself. They do essentially nothing to help you if you do get scammed. I bought a $2,000 scoped rifle that was trashed when I got it. Not the same rifle in the pictures and I got nowhere with gunbroker. They claim they have a minimal amount of insurance...
