[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 508647, member: 505"] The question would be what do you consider long range. If your shots are inside 800 yards you can look at some cartridges easy to shoot without a brake. Beyond that the big guns with brakes take over. For hunting inside 800 yards I shoot a little tikka light 338 winchester that is a pleasure to shoot and hunt with at 6 3/8 pounds. It is fairly easy to hit and kill stuff with it to 700-800 yards. If you shoot further than that I would do the 300 RUM of the ones you listed. Budlight, I agree the 338 Lapua is fun to shoot but the 338-378 wby is more fun by 200 fps and is a better choice if you have 200 brass. I have several of both and my family hunts with all of them but when I am serious I go with the big horsepower of the 338-378. I just like to play all odds and see no reason to leave 200 fps lying around not being used. [/QUOTE]
