[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2855677, member: 115299"] Half of the lands aren’t removed. +P is not the same as freebore. It is a graduated chamber. The bullet still engages the lands the same as a standard chamber but with reduced pressure. It helps to see a diagram of it. Again either way you go there will be trade offs. I do agree with you that the 338 Lapua AI is probably the best option for the OP’s intended purpose but the 338 RUM or Edge in a +p configuration would be good options as well. When talking hunting rifles practicality and efficiency are my primary concerns. I want a rifle that is handy and maneuverable and not to heavy. The efficiency matters because I can shoot it more in order to become more proficient with it, which is far more important than being able to go super fast. With the 285 Flatliners I can stay supersonic to 2600 yards. Again what more could you ask for? The more overbore the cartridge the less barrel life regardless of the chamber configuration. [/QUOTE]
