[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 326365, member: 505"] Since you mentioned target shooting you can hardly wear out a 338 barrel. The high performance 7mm barrels wear pretty fast. 30's are a bit better. I have 338's built in the 70's I can't wear out. I have the good fortune of having numerous wildcat cartridges in every caliber and love shooting all of them. But for a guy that saves up for one rifle they must depend on I recomend a 338 for many reasons. It is the best killer and you can hardly wear it out. All shots are not perfect in hunting situations. The 338 can still put it down so you will get your animal, smaller calibers may not. I have shot elk at well beyond a thousand yards with the 270 wby and 7mm-300 wby but they were not the best choice. Now if I am serious I shoot a big 338 from the 338 ultramag to a 338-378 wby. Doesn't really matter which one unless I am shooting beyond a thousand. [/QUOTE]
