[QUOTE="Tango Sierra, post: 2573923, member: 114709"] Hi everyone, I have spent a lot of time combing over the posts here, but have not posted much. I am looking towards my next rifle build and am having a lot of difficulty settling on a cartridge. Currently I have a 6.5-284 built of a Tikka action and 280ai build on a Defiance Deviant GA Hunter. I am thinking that I would like to build something larger in either a .30cal or .338. It will be used mainly for elk and moose here in British Columbia. Most shots will be well under 500 yards, though I would the capability to kill game further then that. I am hoping for a somewhat light build with a shorter barrel length….. 20-22 inches. Originally I was thinking a .338 would be a bigger jump from 280ai, and there for maybe a better choice? But maybe it’s overkilll? I tend to like cartridges that are a little bit less mainstream. Cartridges I have been considering are: 338 RUM, 33 Nosler, 300 PRC and 30 Nosler. I would love to hear what you guys think! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
