[QUOTE="Paladin300, post: 2811810, member: 115299"] Right on! Which is why I think the RUM or edge would be plenty but it looks like he is leaning towards the 338 Norma Improved. In a hunting rifle I might go there if I didn’t already own a 338 RUM. The XC, Cheytec and enablers are great rounds but not really practical for hunting and require large heavy actions. They were developed to ring steel at 1500 plus. They are two mile guns with long barrels. Not many places to ring them out and if I built one I would want to drive it just as far as I could. If it were a golf driver I’d want a come out of my shoes when I swung it otherwise what’s the point?🤔😁 You certainly don’t need one to kill any critters on this side of the planet. But then again this ain’t a needs kind of sport.🤣 [/QUOTE]
