[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 5064, member: 8947"] My reason for chosing the 30 cals for LR work is availablility of match and quality hunting bullets. The 338 just doesn't have as diverse a choice. However, loaded with some BT at max vel, it would work just fine. Of course, the 250 and 300gr match bullets are wonderful. In general, a bigger case is needed to launch these bullets at the vel that make really LR shooting viable. Recoil is certainly higher then the 30cal which was another big part of my decision. On that vein, I am looking at the fast 7mm to reduce recoil more. So if you like the 338 WM, have at it. As long as you can get that bullet into the boiler room, it just doesn't matter.
