[QUOTE="jjmp, post: 1423686, member: 9664"] the 338 w/mag has its limits just like any other cartridge ,velocity & energy plainly show this,yes a 300 w/mag shoots flatter, so does any short mag, rum,or 7 stw. however the 338 shines in knock down power from 200-500 yrds I target shoot mine more then hunt with her ,& she takes more moa to shoot further with her then any other cartridges listed above, this doesn't make her bad, just depends on the drivers knowledge. Excessive recoil limits our abilities and shows up in groups,thats why lower recoiling calibers & cartridges are more fun to shoot & group with. owning a 338w/mag 270wsm,300w/mag & two 7STW'S opened my eyes to their capabilities Farthest ive shot my 338 to has been 625 yds,it took a lot more evevation to do it,but the wind didn't blow it around very much at all,bullet 250 Sierra MKing. would I use her for 1000 yds shooting ? no theres better more proven cartridges for that use. 257 tony how did you get 2800 fps out of a 338 w/mag? thks just wondering .....
