[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 747990, member: 2112"] Lefty, your not wasting your time bro. I have been reading and taking in all accounts and advice. The reason I hate, and my whole family hates the .338 Win is because for several years we hunted elk with guys that had them and they wounded and lost more elk than anyone we know. It was more the shooter yes, without a doubt. We came to the conclusion that due to the slower speeds and farther distances they were trying to shoot (keep in mind, this was 20 years ago and they were NOT LRH'ers), they kept hitting them low. One guy switched to a .300 WBY and never lost another critter. So it is like that hypothetical truck you had that was a total *** and you would never buy another one even though the newer trucks they make are leaps and bounds better and would probably never give ya a problem. I vowed I would never own a .300 Windbag or a .338 Windbag back then and never will, unless it is a donor of course ;) . Stupid I know but hey we all have our quarks. Woods, Would you mind throwing a .340 Roy into your calculations there? Would be interested to see how it stacks up. I am really thinking on buying a .300 Roy in the Vanguard then retubeing it with a 28" stainless fluted in .340 Roy or .338 Tejas the next year when I have more funds again. My bro has a 300 WBY right now and has everything to load for it so the only thing I would be out is brass. [/QUOTE]
