[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 956924, member: 10306"] Mud, I always respect your opinion as you do a lot of shooting and are a reputable member of this site. That said, you gotta lay off the .338 hate! I love 7mm's, and I think that they are phenomenal performer, but you CANNOT put them in the same league as any Medium sized .338. I have been shooting a .338 RUM long before the Lapua "Kool-Aid" hit the market. The amount of ENERGY from a RUM sized .338 dwarfs the 7 STW and doesn't leave your barrel toasted in 900. You cant say that its all about shot placement because Hogs and Whitetails are not Moose, Elk, Grizzly or Bison! Living in central B.C I run into grizzlies several times a season and know that all the animals I listed can take a ton of lead. even if you put it in the boiler room. Your .338 Win to the 338 lapua is like your quote on the .284 win compared to the 7 STW. NOT COMPARABLE. With all that said MOST guys cannot shoot their .338s well enough to make a difference (most cant shoot anything bigger that a 7 Rem either), but there is a Big Difference. In Alaska there are big animals. A lot of guys shoot big guns. There is a reason that 30 cal and up is the norm! To the OP, Sorry for the rant. to much coffee, not enough huntin'. I feel that if you are shooting under a grand and Elk, Moose, G-Bear and Bison are off the list there is no need to get anything other than your 7 Rem Mag (STW's are sweet though). The Senduro in 300 RUM would also be a good fit (especially rocking 230 Hybrids) if you are looking to stretch it a bit. It will come very close to .338 Lapua ballistics. However... .338's are a ton of fun if you can afford to feed them and they kick the snot out of most everything. [/QUOTE]
