[QUOTE="adamjp, post: 1908323, member: 40749"] Because the 33 Nosler is little better than the 338 Winchester Mag an roughly equivalent to a 340 Roy. Moving the the much larger capacity of the Norma/Lapua/RUM makes a change to abilities with the long heavy bullets above 270gn. Like Cody I built my rifle to be a long term carry rifle that could be shot out as far as I am comfortable with my own ability. It is intended to supplant my 338/06 and 338 Win Mag. It can't be 12lb, with a 26in barrel (plus brake) and it needed to work in close as much as 'out there'. My experience is that deer will stick their heads up in some unexpected places and a dead deer is meat in the freezer no matter if it was shot within range of the car, or after a days hike into the backcountry (I really do like carry outs where I can pull the car up to the hanging carcass).
