[QUOTE="sodakota, post: 1856042, member: 81002"] I have had four 338’s. First the length of the barrel will have little affect on accuracy. Theoretically though a short barrel should have less vibrations (more stiff) and might be more accurate. Accuracy is not that affected by barrel length. I’d stop asking the guy who told you that any questions. My favorite load for my early 700, my push feed 70 and my 70 Classic was with 250 grain Nosler Partitions. My later model 700 with detachable magazine liked lighter bullets: including 210 grain Partitions and several Mono bullets. But it liked factory Federal Premium Bear Claw loads also. I sold all my 338’s after the last trip for Moose hunting in Canada. My traveling long distances for big game has possibly come to an end. I have components, dies, and such that I’d let go at a good price. [/QUOTE]
