[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2774721, member: 109862"] I mean all the power to ya to buy more guns 😁 but I’m thinking if you’re just starting to practice to 1200 and aren’t going to be taking game that far there’s nothing wrong with the 3 cartridges you already have, 7mm rem mag, 300 win, 28 Nosler…all capable. Just get into handloading already 😉 Save the money of another rifle and a few boxes of factory ammo and take the plunge into the wonderful insane OCD world of handloading! (We’ll be chanting “one of us, one of us, one of us!” In the background while dancing around a fire 🤪) Get handloading 180 class high bc bullets in that 28 and you’ll be pressed to find a .338 that can hang with it trajectory and wind wise without requiring a ridiculous heavy rig. Depending on twist rate you got 180 eld m, 195 bergers, a friend of mine loads 185 (I think) scenars in his 28 and they kill just fine…. You do whatever you want with your money but for what it’s worth if its Not in the budget to do both new guns and start a new hobby…you’ll never regret having gotten into handloading. Trust me.
