[QUOTE="The Trinity Kid, post: 1246782, member: 91382"] Thanks for the promptness gents. :) I'd certainly thought of the 300 and 7mm. One fellow I know uses the 7mm for deer, and he took a 650lb California Tule elk this year with it at 580 yards. Not bad. :cool: I guess I was kind of thinking of a less common round (which the SAUM is). The whole "my gun shoots a cooler caliber than yours," thing. I was also wanting to shoot 250 grain + bullets if I end up in bear country. That in mind, I kind of want a 338-06. It's certainly different, and looking at an article comparing it to the 338 Win Mag ( [url=http://www.chuckhawks.com/compared_338mag_338-06_338rcm.html].338 Win. Mag, .338-06 A-Square and .338 RCM Compared[/url]) , there doesn't seem that much advantage in a magnum vs a 338-06. What say you? --TK [/QUOTE]
