[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 635839, member: 24624"] notwithstanding the comments made above regarding 375 and up being required for the big 5... 338 Win Mag will do everything you described. 338-378 WBY will do it better. I just can't imagine myself wanting to practice much with a big cartridge like that without a good muzzle break. Even if your shoulder doesn't hurt, your pocket book might. Even my tiny by comparison 300 Win Mag spends more time in the safe than I'd like. Unless I have a specific need, I always reach for one of the 6mm or 6.5's. They're less expensive and more fun to shoot. And, they can reach out as far as most of the 500-1000yd shooting opportunities I have readily available to me will permit. If you can only afford one such rifle, you probably need to err on the big side since it's hard to kill a big critter with a small caliber. Enjoy! -- richard [/QUOTE]
