[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 609, member: 3"] I'd lean toward the 300 RUM if I were going for one gun. Like WyoWhisper states, there are a lot of bullets to choose from for the 30 caliber, far more than available for the 338. Get it twisted to use the long bullets like the 240 Sierra or other custom high BC bullets and I believe you'll be set for any distance. I have a 338 RUM and use the 300 Sierra, it's the only one with a good BC that I can fire through the rifle. (It's got custom polygonal rifling and probably won't do well with alloy bullets like Barnes or Lost River.) The 338 RUM does have a fair bit of recoil with the heavy bullets and some shooters may not appreciate the thumping. [/QUOTE]
