[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 174774, member: 10"] For deer at any range, they will all work well. Just remember that on average, the larger the bore diameter, the longer the barrel life will be if all else is equal. Personally, I would lean toward the 7mm or 300 RUM for deer only mainly because the 338 is loosing popularity and may not be around forever. The 7mm can be made from the 300 easily so there will always be brass for that chambering. Take your pick between the two, you can not go wrong really. What Wildcat Bullets are you interested in? I have alot of data for many of Richards bullets and will offer if you are interested in the ones I have data for. On the muzzle brake, I would say look at the Defensive Edge or Holland brakes before the JP. They are just so **** big and ugly and not really any more effective then the two I mentioned and those are much smaller designs that look much better on the end of your barrel in my personal opinion. From the number of JP brakes I remove and replace with these, others must think the same. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
