[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1044980, member: 22069"] I agree that the .338 Win Mag is not a slouch. When I first started coming to LRH, I had this discussion with LongTimeLongRanger. His take at that time was that the .338 Win Mag was at its best with the Barnes 185 grain TTSX to between 700 and 800 yards or the Cutting Edge 225 MTH to 1000 yards. I think that is still true. Since then, the release of the 215 and 230 Berger Hybrids has taken the .300 Win Mag to an entirely new level. I see it as about the best balanced cartridge one could choose for long range use from a carry weight rifle. I like my .338's, too. I used to own a .338 Win Mag, but sold it when I got my .375 H&H. I like my H&H better. Still, I have both a .300 Win Mag and a 338-06 AI in process, so I apparently haven't gotten the .338 out of my system yet. [/QUOTE]
