Hi,
being a newby to long range hunting and bigger bore rifles, I need some help in picking a caliber.
I am looking at the 338wm. I want a gun that I could shoot animals out to say 500yds, after years of practice. Maybe do some long range target shooting, and have enough power to hunt bear and moose if I get the chance. I was looking at the 300wm, but have read alot on the 338 and think it might be a better all around gun to hunt deer, muleys- do alot of this, elk, moose, bear, and anything else in North America. LIke to be able to take the long shot and know my gun can do it and make a good clean kill. What do you think of the 338 and what make of rifle would you suggest looking at?
Thanks for the help and a great site.
