[QUOTE="Guest, post: 83389"] lv2 and Willy... I traveled down this road as well... The 338 pacs a punch! OK kills on one end wounds on the other.. but if you canhandle that the 250 gr and 300 gr bullets are HAMMERS! However, I don't know if it is necessary for 1K hunting.. there are some 30 cals that do this nicely. THe 300RUM and an action/chamber/throat that can handle the 220's and 240 gr SMK's will surly get the job done at 1K Not meant to confuse you but there is an option. The poor mans 338 Lapua is the 338/300RUM but then you contend with Rem brass which is marginal The Rem actions are working quite well for the big 338's and I know a few rifles that Chris built are screamers!
