[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 749370, member: 10306"] I have the XCR I in .338 RUM. Its a 3+1. It is also one of the most accurate rifles I have shot (i lucked out, but i'll take it!) You said the #1 thing is smackdown factor, the .300's dont even come close to the .338. Flatter shooting... look up 210 barnes TTSX (g1 .414) @ 3400fps or 225 TTSX or AB's at 3265fps-3300. I have shot from the 210's to 300 grainers in my rifle, out to 1108 and had great results. Remember that the stock fitting your LOP is going to help you shoot ALOT BETTER. especially when theres alot of recoil involved. little guns dont shoot better than big guns, people shoot better with little guns (a little off point, but i had to say it) I REALLY like the 300 RUM, especially running the 230's, but when it comes to raw HP, the .338 is the King of the heap by a long shot. All that being said, the .338 is only the king of the heap if you know that you can handle the recoil. [/QUOTE]
