[QUOTE="CApighunter, post: 2126159, member: 116090"] I’d do a Nosler or Rum case in your choice of 308 or 338 bore. 20-22 inch barrel is perfectly adequate. In long range hunting, efficiency can be damned. There’s no free lunch and if you want maximum energy/retained velocity on target at distance in a short package you’ll need a large case with the horsepower to do it. Remember that a 300 rum will push a 215 a hell of a lot faster than a 308 will of similar barrel length. Using N570 and a properly throated 300 rum, 3100 is doable from a 20 inch tube. I have a 23 inch win mag I’m having rebarreled to a 20 inch 30 Nosler. I’ll loose a little speed, but it’ll make up for it in handiness. Bullets kill, not headstamps. [/QUOTE]
