[QUOTE="rbTanzan, post: 1661040, member: 53978"] The 338's provide great BC's and they help to anchor the animal for an easier find. The 338WM will work fine but for custom you could do any of the equivalents to 340 ballistics in a standard length case (2.5-2.6"). Hammer bullets or the new Barnes LRX 250 gn with .602 BC or the slightly flatter TTSX 225gn with .514 BC. I'm partial to copper bullets for up close integrity. Platform? Your call. For light I'd use a Tikka in 338WM. For a heavier, yet handy, wildcat I'd rechamber or put a tight-twist barrel on a Ruger Hawkeye. Or you can go a few K more for a real custom. [/QUOTE]
