I have been seriously considering a purchase of a .338 Remington Ultra Mag or a .378 Remington Ultra Mag in a Remington 700 XCR. Any comments on the inherent accuracy of these calibers or caliber/rifle combination would be greatly appreciated.
My intended use would be large bears and long-range bull elk. I am a pretty well practiced hand loader and am willing to work up good loads but I would prefer to avoid a caliber that is inherently "picky" about an accurate load.
I also considered the .340 or .378 Wby in the Mark 5 but am leaning toward the 700 XCR because of the good value there seems to be for about 800 bucks.
Thanks again for you thoughts and observations!
