[QUOTE="Savage110, post: 808009, member: 67786"] I truly understand that you need to bring enough gun to the party so to speak. In the comparison's on paper I was just trying to get across that the two aren't that much different or at least close enough to ask the question. For the record I have never reloaded for my .300 because I just don't shoot it enough ( that will change though) to justify the expense. So the comparison was valid with the ammo that I currently have. I am planning on working up a 190 grain Berger vld round as soon as some become available or back in stock. The only reason I asked the question in the first place is that I always bring a spair gun in case something happens. Last year while hunting in Colorado my hunting partner triped and knocked my .300 over and the scope took a good hit off a rock and I did not trust it anymore. .At 17 ibs my .338 is a little cumbersome to Carry around. I have been to Montana countless times my whole life since my Mom and her whole side of her family are from there and we vacation there every year. If I were to ever leave MN I would move to MT or Alaska. Many people hate when out of staters hunt in there back yard but we really don't have much choice in the matter. If I could hunt elk on my land I would certainly do it. Hunting white tails has gotten to the point of using a bow just to make it interesting. Great fourm and thanks for all the feedback. [/QUOTE]
