[QUOTE="dogbuster0006, post: 903777, member: 39547"] There are tons of long range rifles built on a savage action, and 7mm will be a **** fine deer rifle further out than most people can accurately shoot. My ruger 77 in 7rem really likes the hsm loaded 168vld, I haven't found the 180 in stock to try yet. The furthest I've killed with it to date has been 485yd and the doe never knew what hit her, bang flop is an understatement. I don't know enough about the t/c bolt actions to advise on their accuracy potential and haven't seen any write ups involving them yet. This is probably just due to the fact they're new to the market. Most of the reading I've done everyone says 210-250gr shoot best for the 338win, the longer bullets will severely cut into your powder charge and might have trouble getting them from mag to chamber they'll just be too long without seating deep into the case. This is simply what I've read I have minimal experience with that caliber just too much gun for anything we have in KY. My suggestion would be to buy several factory brands in different configurations which ever gives you best results will be a good starting point for hand loading in the future that's what I do with all of my guns. Good luck and happy hunting keep us informed. [/QUOTE]
