[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 12062, member: 10"] This would be a hell of a big game round for all the reasons you list. Performance wise, it will run closer to the 340 Wby then the 338 Win Mag. Brass is costly though. I am not a real believer inb the short action being much faster in action then a long action but thats just personal opinion and for a big game rifle either action can be made plenty stiff for quality accuracy. It is a great round, hits very hard, compact, moderate recoil energies, in an 8.5 lb rifle it will still be quite lively though. I would not say that it would be inherantly more accurate then the 338, most 338's I have tuned up for customers flat out shoot and are easy to get to shoot well. Much more so then the 340 or 338 RUM in my opinion. May be due to the fact they are much easier to shoot. Norma brass is extreme quality brass but can tend to be softer then American brass. If you want to run the 330 to full pressures, your brass life will be slightly limited. Good Shooting!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
