[QUOTE="Longshotjames, post: 2535509, member: 91374"] I haven’t seen this said so I will toss it out there. I’ll preface with this; everyone is correct in their info and heavy hitting killing power from above in reference of the 338wm. However I found the 338wm just can’t push the higher BC 338’s such as 285-300gr to the speed required for reliable impact velocity on game at long distances. For longrange hunting there are just better options available. Comparing to the 300win of the OP’s other option is a much better choice. The 300win has the case capacity to run 215-230gr bullets with the high BC we like for long range at much higher velocity. Remember this is strictly in reference to Long Range hunting. That being said I’m not getting rid of my 338wm but it wont be my only rifle or top choice for 700yds and above. James [/QUOTE]
