[QUOTE="Moose Whacker, post: 602248, member: 41008"] I have a Ruger M77 in .338 WM have had a triger job done and glass bedded, am presently having a Leoupold Mark 4 4.5x16x50 installed by a gunsmith. I handload. and have just purchased a Leica1600 RF. I have shot mule deer out to about 450 plus or minus paced off yards with this rifle with a Leoupold 3.5x10. Why don't I hear anything about this cal. being used for long range? The .338 Lapua is shooting a heavier bullet but it isn't going much faster than my .338 WM, why then can the Lapua shoot out to some two miles? What would be a good expectation for the .338 WM be?
