[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 503459, member: 13632"] There have been some great threads lately on the 338 RUM size chamberings which has kinda gotten me to thinking about why would a guy build a 300 RUM over a 338 RUM? It looks like all things equal and shooting elk in the 1000yrd range, pushing hunting bullets like the Accubond the 338 RUM would be an easy choice. Most of the time I see the 200gr Accubond out of the 300 running in the 3200 fps ish range and the 338 pushing the 225 Accubond just over 3300 fps range. Running these numbers there is an advantage to the 338, not a huge advantage but combining that with barrel life wouldn't the 338 be the clear choice over all or am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
