[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 72940, member: 2011"] Yep, I'd say the 338 Win is a long range hunting rifle. I'm working a factory Rem 700 up for that purpose at the moment. I'm not too sure about those light bullets. The BC gotta be low compared to the 250gr bullets and probably fall out of the air 3 or 400 yards out. I'm shooting the 250gr Sierra Gameking at 2800 fps into 1/2" @ 200 yds and delivering 2000 fpe out to 820 yds. When I get things all worked up, me the rifle, drop chart and practice so I can hit what I'm shooting at at the 820 mark I'll ship the action off and get something built that will push the 250gr Wildcat bullet at between 3150 and 3175. That will put 2000 fpe at 1000yds and not require any come-ups when using the Mil-dot scope. All that velocity with the 185 sounds tempting but I've been there and done that, they just don't reach out as well. [/QUOTE]
