[QUOTE="HunterMann, post: 2542334, member: 117098"] I also a have the 260 Rem as my primary hunting gun for any medium game. My 338 WM predates my 260 Rem. I have shot the 338 WM out to 400yds and have if ranged out to 600, but I have never shot game that far. At those ranges the 300WM shows a better trajectory, but the 338 WM has more energy. Your decision should probably consider the game you intend to be shooting. Ammo and reloading component availability in NZ should also figure in your decision process. But you should also consider modern rounds like 300 PRC or 270 Westerner, as others have suggested. Nothing wrong with starting with cartridges and rifles designed for long range work. Good luck in your choice. [/QUOTE]
