[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 804572, member: 68226"] Everyone is going to have their opinion on this topic. But when the smoke settles and the boys grow to men there are two calibers that really have better capability than other calibers. If you look at F class shooting, If you ask the manufacturers of custom long range rifles what caliber they use, if you understand ballistic coefficient, If you do this you will come to the conclusion that the 7mm caliber is the best long range caliber with recoil in mind. The 338 can do better but to push 300gr of lead to modern velocitys you will most likley start to flinch. On a budget a 162 amax or 180 berger in a 7mm rem stoked with retumbo and a WIN MAG primer 26 in barell 1 in 9 twist or faster is hard to beat. [/QUOTE]
