[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2899679, member: 115658"] Go for the .338-08 - zippo difference in ballistics, .338 RCM, - short powder column & sharp shoulders negligible value in hunting weapon. Lots of .30.-06 brass avail. I COW fireformed my .30-06 brass to get nice concentric necks & used a variety of bullets in 200-215 grain weight with powders like H4895, IMR 4350, Varget, & RL 15. I achieved remarkable ballistic performance with the double base RL 15 powder with 200 grain bullets. The .338 RCM is an example of ballistic marketing effort designed effort to sell a trendy item, then taking no responsibility to provide adequate support like brass availability. Frequent practice with a hunting weapon improves ability and continuous searching for brass to shoot is a major PIA. [/QUOTE]
