[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 721780, member: 2736"] The nice thing about a 338, it can be loaded to what ever level of energy and trajectory you need. You can load 180s for medium to short ranges and take small game to deer size game without all the recoil and muzzle report. then load/buy the 200+ grain bullets for larger game. For the longest shots you feel comfortable with on Elk size game the 250 to 300 grain bullets will fill the bill. Ideally having both calibers would be great, but if you can only afford 1 Rifle I would recomend the 338s. The 338s are so versatile I have 3 different ones (Its nice to be a gunsmith) A 338 RCM, A 338 rum and my own designed 338 Super. The 338 RCM was built for close, carry situations for Hogs and bears and will equal the 338 Win Mag with the 180s and 200 grain bullets. The 338 RUM is my dedicated Elk rifle out to 1100 yards. An my 338 Super is for anything within my ability range. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
