[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 804733, member: 11717"] I can't speak for the 338-378, but I have shot a couple of 338 Lapua's (a couple of LRH member's rifles) that were braked and they were very pleasurable to shoot. Also shot another member's 375 AM with a massive Allen Pain Killer brake on it and it was like shooting a 243 or less. Maybe you should get a larger brake for the 338-378? That said, if I had to choose between a big 338 and a 7 mag for LR elk hunting out to 1K or more, I would pick the 338. Take elk out of the picture and that changes the whole story for me. For an off the shelf 7, I would probably pick the Dakota or the LRM. I am actually thinking of also doing a 7/300 Norma Mag Imp or Lapua Imp sometime in the future. The 7's are fine but I prefer bigger holes in bull elk. [/QUOTE]
