[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 355857, member: 505"] Your 300 ultramag will certainly kill elk at a thousand yards but the larger caliber 338 is a better choice as you decided. I own and have built many of the 300, 338 and 338-300 ultramags. My cost on brass is the same with the 300 and 338. Bullet availability is also the same. The 338 ultramag will feed better through your action than the 338-300 ultramag or some call the edge on here. Performance is the same. You may outshoot some, some may outshoot you. Just depends on the individual barrel. The 300 ultramag case is .091 or so inches longer if my memory serves me correctly which causes some feeding problems in Rem 700 actions when necked to 338 caliber unless modified. I think your good on cartridge. I have several 338-300 ultramags, 340 weatherby's, 300 ultramags, etc built with 28" #4 Hart and Pac-Nor barrels. They all come in under 11 pounds scoped out with bipod. So you can accomplish your goal. [/QUOTE]
