[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 2581446, member: 11960"] I’d go for the XC just to keep it simple. The bigger 338s might get you more velocity, but the sweet spot still seems to be about 3200 fps with a 300gr bullet. I had a pair of 338/408 improved rifles and they were both most accurate between 3170 and 3250 fps. It might be worth looking at a 416 instead of going 408. It seems like there’s more movement in the 416 direction, which might offer more bullet and barrel options right now. [/QUOTE]
