[QUOTE="HAMMERHAND, post: 710758, member: 33066"] Hello everyone. My barrel is finally wearing out on my Remington 700 BDL. Everything is pretty much customized on the gun one way or another, but the barrel was factory 8mm Rem. Mag. I would love to keep the 8mm rem round, but the lack of higher BC heavy bullets and the fact that the cartridge is slowly slipping into obscurity is bothersome to me. I am looking at a .338 caliber barrel now. Interested in longer range deer, antelope, elk, and hogs. 40% of the purpose of it will be for elk hunting I would say. What .338 cartridge would you recommend and why? I am a reloader. I am just interested in something that will be a lot easier to find a better selection of bullets for, and easy to get to shoot accurately (the 8mm mag is finicky until you find the sweet spot). Also interested in finding a 'smith to do the work. I appreciate any and all advice. [/QUOTE]
