[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 2332764, member: 110615"] What do you consider “shootable”?? Over the last few years I have been fortunate to shoot with several of the best field bolt gun shooters in the world and not one of them would consider and .338 anything “shootable”. I have conserved building a .338 SS and seeing how a loaded down .338 heavy would perform. Maybe build it on a medium or long receiver. If you want to hit plates at 1500-2500 yards it makes sense to go big with lots of powder. To hunt and enjoy shooting it I would consider a smaller case and really there’s not much more a .338 will do than a 7mm when it comes to long range hunting. The new .338 bullets are very intriguing tho, so I understand the attraction. [/QUOTE]
