[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2542084, member: 101791"] I have 264WN, 7mm Rem, 308NM and 338WM. Hunting in Africa I used 308NM and 338WM. I am not into heavy bullets. I use 165gr in my 308NM, and 200gr in my 338WM.i feat the .338 did a better job. I shoot 3300fps (26" barrel) with the 308NM with H4350, and 3220fps (24" barrel) in the 338WM with W760. I use a muzzle brake on the 338. It's a little pup dog now. They are easy 500yd rifles. I use AccuBond bullets. I don't have anything with a fast twist barrel to handle the copper bullets. Now I am getting a new 338WM in a 26" barrel with brake. I am hopping to change out to H4350 powder. All are Fed-210 primers. Powder load are in the 75+ grain level. Any more I would get a muzzle brake on any mag. I produce 5 shot groups in the 1/2" area with either one @ 100yds. If you are planning on shooting 700+yds and more then I would go to the 300WM.
