[QUOTE="nikontom, post: 544074, member: 36607"] Hi, Actually, I don't like long range hunting, as it is today. I believe in the 300yd rule. Coming in close to the animal is part of the fun of hunting. Shooting an animal that is standing a half of a mile away is laziness. Walking and staking, is hunting. Anyway, thank you very much for the information that you gave me. It was informative, (powder capacity of the various cases). Now I have something to use as a barometer. I like long range target shooting. There, you don't have to chase after a wounded, bleeding target. I believe in a neat, clean kill, with as little inflicted pain as possible. As for short range hunting, it is very challenging. Coming up on an animal at 30 yds. in dense woods will get your heart pumping. Last year I got mine with my Mini 30 with a 1-4X33 scope. The deer ran around in circles, and I had a time keeping it in my sights. I fired twice, both shots were in and out. I thought that I had missed. But them I found the blood trail. It bled out in 100 ft. Why are you making fun of the 338 Fed? This is a blog about the 7mm-08 vs the 338 Fed. [/QUOTE]
