[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1147553, member: 12193"] Any of the 3 cartridges you mention will be more than adequate for hunting out to 800 yards. Also take a look at the 338 Norma and 300 Norma magnums which have similar case capacity to the 338 Lapua and the same bolt face. The 300 Norma would probably be the cheapest one to shoot, based on price of brass and bullets. 338-378 will put the biggest grin on your face but is also the most expensive. They're all good though, do a little research and see which one suits you the best. Weight will depend largely on which barrel contour/length you choose. Stock and scope/mounts also play a part. I think anywhere between 10-12 lbs out the door is a good weight for this kind of build. Price will vary a lot depending on which components you select and the gunsmith. Best thing to do is price out all the components and get a quote from your 'smith. [/QUOTE]
