[QUOTE="Longrangers, post: 1974181, member: 101564"] My son and I have been going through a lot variables about this since he won a manners stock and wants to build something for long range hunting. We presently have a 28 nosler that is running a 195 Berger at approximately 3050 FPS. He thought about a 30 cal but after running ballistic numbers compared to a 30 cal bullet options and velocities that are attainable we felt why build a 30 when the 28, energy was the same or more with a more efficient projectile. So we decided to go with a 338 caliber shooting a 300 grain projectile to separate them. The 300 gr seems to be a game changer in the 338 caliber. [/QUOTE]
