Is there any other rifle in the .338 caliber that can compete with .338 Lapua?

[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 929632, member: 10306"] Bigger bullets don't always drift less, but weight boosts B.C so the heavies tend to buck better than a similarly shaped bullets. Mach V hit the nail on the head. unless shooting elk or moose or going past 1200 yards, there is no need to break into the .338s. I have one as my main hunting rifle but I couldn't afford to feed it for fun shoots. A medium fast 7 will get you there ALOT cheaper with little to no different in exterior ballistics, except maybe less drop. less recoil will be a big bonus. I bet a win Coyote Lite in .270 wsm or 7 WSM or a Senduro in 7 rem or STW would have your Dad thinking twice about burning all that powder. The .338's are still king of the ring, its just that 1000 yard paper isn't a championship bout. [/QUOTE]
