[QUOTE="cabinfever, post: 493732, member: 14101"] Pyro agreed......shot placement cannot be stressed enough. I will also say that beyond 1000 yards the .338s really shine over anything else......unless were talking a 50 bmg teampete I think you will be happy with the 300 wm for long range applications. Don't be having buyer remorse!LOL!You did good! Later in life when your out of school and looking to get another rifle, don't over look the 7mm's. My new personal favorite is the 7mm wsm but if Lapua standardizes the brass on the 7mm-300 wsm wildcat, I'm having one made in short order. If you are not reloading and you want to shoot the bergers, I highly reccomend you try the premium long range bullets by HSM. They are the most accurate factory ammo I have ever shot. Many 1/2 inch groups with several different calibers. I reload, but if I didn't I'd be shooting HSM. I think a leupold 4.5-14X50 VXIII with a bdc turret would be a fine scope for the money. Vortex seems to be cranking out some quality stuff too. Best of Luck to you and keep us posted on your new long range rig. [/QUOTE]
