[QUOTE="sourdough44, post: 2285194, member: 16114"] Just skimmed through, haven’t seen the OP’er back yet. As most know, the 280 REM can do most things, going larger for deer gets closer to overkill. The type of deer hunting matters, as does is one a handloader or not? Then we get to how much one may elk hunt? If 80% of the time is deer hunting in TN, may not need the 338. Even with deer, we hunt with varying methods. When rifle hunting I’m hardly ever near or in a fixed stand. For me I like lightweight & compact for that 50-75 yard shot. That shot may come after carrying the rifle for 3 days. Once owning the 280, then wanting something larger, the 300WSM is a good choice. We have to save some debate for optics & bullet choice.
