[QUOTE="3 bears, post: 551352, member: 37466"] 7 mag is my choice for the calibwers you have posted; not posted is a sweet shooting Swede in 6.5x55 shooting 140 gr Bergers loaded to 2800 + velocities performs close to 7 mag at 600 yds. The 7mag allows a Berger 140 gr BC .510 to be launced at 3200 fps and make great shots with relatively lower recoil for a relatively light 6.5 # rifle . The average shoooter can place a 7mag accurately on game at long range. The 338's are great, but they take a very good shooter that can handle all the extra recoil and hurricane winds that are driven up during the shot. It takes a beter man than me to just carry one around. That being said one of the best all-time rifles I have successfully shot from a stand at long range with great resuilts was a 340 Weatherby, accurate and deadly; I just couldn't carry it.. [/QUOTE]
