[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 2071007, member: 75779"] I run a 338 edge using a 700 modified action, CF barrel 26", thumbhole mcmillan, bdl, and has Vx3( for the moment) and I'm under 10#. Could go a bit less with a lighter stock, but won't do it given the recoil. Current load is 96.5 gr of N570 plus a 260 hammer @3K. I can run 300 Berger's comfortably 2800+. This is my elk gun and it hits targets far harder than my 300 WM with the 215 berger (which is still impressive). IMO - there's not a ton of difference between the big 30s at most hunting distances. They have ample energy regardless. BUT they don't have the thump of the larger 33 cal. AND neither the 30 or 33 cals are close to the mythological powers of the almighty 6.5 CM🤫. [/QUOTE]
