[QUOTE="alremkin, post: 57351, member: 3345"] Interesting...I've been away from shooting for about 10 years and am getting back into it. From what I hear here, it sounds like a lot more people have realized what a good caliber the big 338's are. I don't know what a "Pac-Nor" is, but will probably eventually replace the stock 26" barrel with a 30" Lilja one or two contours heavier than the stock barrel. I don't know what a "SMK" is either, although I've heard Sierra has a 300gr Matchking with a verry high BC. What worries me about that bullet is that it might blow up on an Elk or Moose. Years ago I picked up 8 lbs of H870 figuring someday I'd get a 338/378. Also I've a hundred of the old style Barnes 300 gr round nose for up close against a Grizzly. Which I wouldn't want to load any faster than 2700fps for that purpose. Although, if I was hunting Grizzly specifically I want to use something more like a 475/416...ah another rifle to dream about... [/QUOTE]
