[QUOTE="elkcoast, post: 960690, member: 81207"] so, three years late and a dollar short, I never saw any mention of the most poorly marketed great high caliber long range rifle made, the remington 8mm mag. Of all the ballistics on high caliber long range rifles, the only one I've seen with significantly better ballistics is the Weatherby 338-378. Now on huge game like kodiaks, there is one slight down side, the largest bullet so far is a 250 grain round nose. 338, 375, etc all carry more weighty bullets for the big boys. But 180 nosler ballistic tips doing close to 3300fps and the sierra 220 boat tail at 2975, that has some magically high killing force at over 1000 yards still. Can NOT use remington factory loads if you plan on killing much though. Nosler does load some 180 and 200's for Midway. And no muzzle brake so it does bruise flesh, but awesome gun that is highly overlooked and/or ignored. [/QUOTE]
