[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1820294, member: 2736"] Not trying to talk you out of the 338 federal because it will be OK for most everything you listed except it would be marginal for elk in my opinion at 250 to 300 yards without perfect shot placement. Actually a 308 would do better and would be an easy build or buy. And with so many bullet weights to chose from you could select the best one for the type of hunting and get the most performance. Deer and hogs are easy with a 150 class bullet and range is greatly increased. For elk at close ranges, 180's and 200's would be my choice for the 308. Just a thought J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
