[QUOTE="dogz, post: 3094339, member: 5429"] Awfully tough to beat a good 33, I've been a monster fan of the 340 Wby since the 1980's. Great round, easy to work with. We normally used Schneider barrels cut to 23-25". For actions we used 70's, 700's and 98's. I wore out 2 barrels on game and in shooting chucks at long range. For the most part we built them to be in the 8 lbs to 9 lbs "all up" (scoped, rounds, sling). No breaks, or cans. If I did one again I'd go with a 20-21" barrel and set it up for a can. First bullet I'd give a go would be the 250 Scenar, that bullet would be fantastic in the 33's! We got great case life with Wby brass or 8 Rem mag brass (IE. good primer pocket life of up to 13 loadings b4 the pockets opened up enough to discard them. As well we had very good barrel life, well up into the 2500 round range b4 they'd give up the ghost. Have fun with this bugger (I can tell you are:)... On a better note, you've mentioned a couple times using them on Big Alaskan game, what are you booked for and when? Life's short, hunt hard! [/QUOTE]
