[QUOTE="Northman, post: 140438, member: 4274"] Just a question here. 338win mag compared to a 338EDGE/lapua. At 1200 yards 250 grain sierra. Drift Energy 338 Win: 2800fps 115" 890ft/lbs 338edge:3000fps 105" 1050ft/lbs The 338winmag burns 10-15 grains more powder then the 30-06, (and 10-15 grain less then the super magnums) but its also going down a larger bore. Not doubting any of you who says its shoot out in 2-2500 rounds. Just hard to belive. But, is 10" of drift, and 160ft/lbs worth it to go to a super magnum? Would you guys say a 338 win would be a first starter for someone who might get a chance once in a while, to shoot out to 1200 yards, but 90% of the time wont? [/QUOTE]
