[QUOTE="Boman, post: 116045, member: 819"] Both my father and I have .340wby's. We love them. His is a Wby Accumark and mine is full custom job on a Rem 700 action. Both of ours are extremely accurate. Dads shoots about .70moa when he does his part. Mine is about .4-.5 when I do mine. We both shoot Barnes Trip shock bullets. I have never found it difficult to load for at all. The brass last for about 6-7 loadings, but we load ours pretty hot. I really think it comes down to personal preference. Most guys chose based on the factory rifle that chambers them. But since your having yours built you could go which ever way you want. If I wanted a long range elk gun and was building it now. I'd go for a Shawn Carlock .338 Edge. Right now my .340Wby is an ultralight weighing 5.75lbs without scope. And I love it for close up shooting and out to 700yds. Its my main hunting rifle and my backpacking rifle as well. Pick what excites you. Good luck and have fun! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
