[QUOTE="Catskills, post: 2194987, member: 106302"] [B]Given what you already have, I’d personally step up to something in .338. To be clear, you don’t need more....but need is a 4 letter word around here. If you handload, you’ll find the 210 partitions are tough to beat as a do everything combination. I‘ve shot deer, antelope, bear, moose and dozens of elk within combo, out to too far ranges, and to distances measured in feet. Bullet performance has always been outstanding. You can’t do that with many bullets without running the risk of bullet blowup on the shoulder joint of elk or moose at close range. While some get great performance from the mono bullets, I gave up on them after unpredictable expansion back in the”X” bullet days. I personally prefer the 225+fps the 340 gives over the 338 win. FWIW, I find the recoil more tolerable than the 300 mags in similarly stocked rifles (more of a push than a crack).[/B] [/QUOTE]
