[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 989723, member: 48043"] The 338 is a good mid range thumper, but it hits its stride with 225 grain slugs, which aren't as great for lr hunting. I pasted a mule deer with my 338win at 550 yards years back with a 225 hdy (you shoot what you have, and that's what was in my pocket that day) and it went down without even a flinch. I'm with JE that you look at the larger 7'mms also. Both the 7stw and 7rum will shoot flat, hit hard, and not beat you up even without a brake. A 300win is good, but the rum is better in 30 cal.. I have both and I likely wouldn't have the win if the rum had been out already when I bought my 300win. The recoil is up somewhat, but not really at 338 level. [/QUOTE]
