[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1379650"] The 33 N is in power terms more than a 338 WM and less than a 338 RUM or Edge. It is in a nice sweet spot for just what you describe. No, it is not the match of the larger 338s like the Lapua, that was marketing non-sense that was put out for stupid reasons. Mine is actually a 338/26-Nosler which gives a little power edges of the 33 N but I have to make my brass from 26 or 28 N. I made mine before the 33 N was announced. I also have an aversion to the 338 RUM vs. 300 RUM case size fiddling. So, no you are not missing anything. It is fine without a brake for a hunting rifle. The loading options will fit many applications. Accuracy of a well assembled rifle is going to be outstanding. Oh and mine is simply a Weatherby Mark V "Alaskan" 338WM rechambered. Very nice, very accurate, very flexible. The barrel diameter muzzle brake doesn't do much but I still like it. Not needed. I will make a thread protector some day instead. [/QUOTE]
