[QUOTE="SavageShtr, post: 558257, member: 15118"] Well for the chamberings you are looking into I would suggest the 300 win mag or the 300 rum. The 338 Lapua is an awesome caliber but like you stated it is very expensive to shoot factory ammo out of, or to reload for for that matter. The 300's have factory ammo available every ware and will do good at the distances you looking at. If I was to pick just one of the calibers you suggested it would be the 300 rum with the 230gr berger. You also might want to look into the 7mm rum or even the 7mm stw with 180gr bullets. I would also look into reloading very soon as that will save you a bunch of money and also be able to make a load that works the best for your weapon. The Allen mags are even more expensive to load for and I wouldn't recommend either of those to a beginner at long range shooting. Continue to practice with the 308 until you get another rifle in the caliber that you pick and you should be ok. [/QUOTE]
