[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 174850, member: 2852"] I would highly recommend against reduced loads in a 300 ultra. They don't shoot well underloaded and hangfires are a possiblity. And there are some 338 bullets that are actually cheaper than some 30's. But if 500 yards is your goal, neither the 338 ultra or the 300 ultra would be my first choice. Believe it or not, a 308 winchester would do the trick just fine-especially for whitetails. If you must have a magnum, look at the 7WSM or the 270 WSM. No real need for a brake with these two magnums. But if you're doing a brake, simply hunt with corded earplugs around your neck. It takes two seconds to stick them in and it will save you many more years of good hearing. Your Burris should work fine. If it doesn't, send it back in free of charge. [/QUOTE]
