[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 558521, member: 13632"] If your building from the ground up 338 Lapua or 338 Norma, if your using a factory action the 338 RUM. I'll drop a 165 gr Matrix on an elk at that range with my 270 WSM but you build one of the above 338's and shoot a 300gr Berger you have an easy LR elk rifle, they are so nice to shoot it's hard to pull the smaller cals out of the safe. If I were to go 30 cal it would likely be the 300 Norma or 300 Win, the RUM is what it is and about half the one's I know of shoot at 300 win levels or slightly higher. The 7 RUM is solidly in the land of diminishing returns IMO!!!!! It's so dang hard to beat a purpose built 338 with a 300gr bullet for elk! [/QUOTE]
