[QUOTE="CUTTER1, post: 1405675, member: 94423"] I own MOA rifles in 28 Nosler, 300 & 338 RUM and a 338 Lapua all shooting heavy Berger bullets and all have worked well on Elk! Ive never been much of a 7mm fan until owning my first 28.....now I have 3. The 28 has worked exceptional on elk size animals. Easy to load match quality ammo for and brass is equally expensive for all of them. If recoil is an issue the 28 wins out! The 4 calibers I shoot are very capable of taking elk at 1000yds. The 30 and 338 r a little big IMHO for deer! The 338's are a little recoil heavy for those sensitive to recoil. One rifle for both I vote for the 28 if you hand load and shoot 195's in long throat gun! the 300 and 338's need long magazine boxes to take advantage of the bullets from Berger and get maximum out of them! My next build will be 338 Lapua Ack Imp when the 330gr Bergers are available. The 300 RUM with long throat and 9" twist will be a great combo for the new 245gr. I'm waiting the arrival of a 27 (28 Nosler necked to 277) to shoot the Berger 170gr It will be what replaces my current 2 favorite deer and antelope rifles (6.5x284 and 25-06AI). I spend much of the fall hunting elk and success this year has been excellent. The 28 has slammed dunked 2 at ranges over 750 and a problem horse that was terrorizing the valley (at 814). the 300 RUM took an elk at 400+ in 30 mph gusty wind with 2 hits 3" apart and it was only animal that required 2 shots this year. My vote is the 28 then when funds and when no alimony has to be paid apply that to the other calibers, 338 first! "Why is divorce so expensive?......because its worth every penny! Same with accurate fine rifles! Happy Valentines Day DOC [/QUOTE]
