[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 925095, member: 13632"] My opinion is that your loosing sight of some key fundamentals of long range hunting over a thing about Magnums!!! Best case, with the 300gr Berger giving you 2500fps in a 30in barrel and 6000ft elevation I'd hunt with it to absalutely max 800 yards!! A 300 Win mag with a 215 Berger 3000 fps and 28in barrel is good past 1000 and with the same or a little less recoil than the above 338-06, less wind drift, less trajectory, and delivers more energy because the bullet opens up very well.
