[QUOTE="Beelzebub, post: 784191, member: 29392"] XXXXXXXX So you're saying it is louder and more expensive to shoot than my 243? Seriously, I was leaning towards the 300 WM. I'd have to shoot down the median on I-10 to shoot more than 1000 yards around here. Too many swamps, rivers, creeks and camp grounds. My property is over a mile long (north-south) but it is mature pines/hardwoods and 28 year old planted pines. I can manage 800 if I sit in the back of my truck and put the target up about head high. I shoot that some times with my 243 and don't do all that bad for a stock gun and hand loads. I had a 338 Win Mag back in 1992 while up was up in Alaska. First time I shot it the temperature was about 15 below zero. I was freezing to death but wanted to shoot it. Bang, 2 stitches in my left eye brow. Blood froze before it could even run down my cheek. I stopped at a gunsmith's shop on my way home and dropped it off to have a KDF (that's what they were calling them back in '92). Kicked like a hot 308 after that. When I PCS'd I gave it to a young soldier that worked hard for me. He sent me a picture of a nice caribou he killed with in in late '93. So I take it from your reply that you have one in the 338? How well does it group? Tks for info, Beelz [/QUOTE]
