[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 962801, member: 56732"] What will you be using it for. . I loathe and despise the 30 caliber and I've had close to 20 of them. I've killed several deer with 30 cals and dozens with the 338. If all you want to do is knock over a deer then the 30 s work fine but so does the 338. . However. The 300 gr 338 bullets really fly flat and bullets like the 300 gr bonded core and 285 TTSX 275 gr Swift A Frame and 265 TTSX will work great on heavy game. The way I look at it. But I'm looking at it from an Alaskan view point. I would go 338 automatically. I have a place where I hunt caribou that has plenty of grizzlies hangin around. Shots at bou could be 800 yards but could also need to dump a grizzly at 15' while packing the bou out. Wider is better on bear and in the 338 excellent long range bullets are available. [/QUOTE]
