[QUOTE="bdyal1972, post: 1974204, member: 50039"] The 338 enablr and 375 enablr are teaching me a lot! Although theoretically a 28 nosler, 195, 30" barrel DO EVERYTHING A 338 ENABLR DOES MORE FURTHER! 375 ENABLR 400 GRN EVEN FURTHER STILL!!! however shooting deer beyond 1000 yards in field conditions is beyond my capabilities 90% of the time AND a true hunting rifle for me needs to be 13lbs or less... The 375s @ 13# loaded ready to hunt kick like a mule EVEN WITH A BRAKE, BIPOD AND HYDRAULIC BUTTPAD!!! 28NOSLER IS PERFECT 30PRC WITH 245S IS PERFECT HOWEVER ALL THINGS CONSIDERED A 338 LAPUA OR EDGE, 30 PRC, 28 NOSLER, 30 SHERMAN SEEM TO BE THE MOST PRACTICAL..... ESPECIALLY BIG BEARS, ELK, KUDO ETC FOR 90% OF ALL HUNTING DONE ON FOOT, ESPECIALLY IN TIMBER.... MAYBE A 375 RUGER/375 WEATHERBY/375 ENABLR WITH 350BARNES TSX or 400 berger in a carbon barrel carbon stock horus reticle..... Seems like the 1 world rifle solution to me... 338s are not obsolete at all!!! I will always use the 338 win mag firing the 225 barnes x @ 2950 in a 9# browning AS MY BENCHMARK.... MAYBE AN ALL CARBON 33 SHERMAN WITH 225 TO 275 HAMMERS WOULD BE MY NEW STANDARD??? 350TSX OR 400 BERGER IN A 375 RUGER??? 338 LAPUA 300 GRAIN ALWAYS WORKS AND MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST PRACTICAL CARTRIDGE..... MAYBE NOT LOL [/QUOTE]
