[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1527169, member: 104437"] The .338 Win Mag.,.. IS a GREAT Cartridge ( a real "Killer", on BOTH ends !) and IF, you personally, can shoot it, a LOT of rounds (practice a bunch) that's, great ! I could NOT, for more than, the 3 shots, off the Bench and a FEW extra practice shots at rocks ! I used to check the sights, every year,.. it "clover leafed" them ( 210grain Noslers @ 2,970 FPS and 225 Horn Spires ! ) It was a Custom MK V, Wby action, 25.5 inch Douglas Premium bbl., Pachmayer Pad, 2.5- 8X Leopold, Glass bedded,..LOVED that Gun,.. just didn't "enjoy" shooting it, more than a few rounds, so I never practiced the Field positions like I do, Today ! Young shooters are "eating up", the .300 Mag's/ .338's then, HAVING to put Brakes on them (MOST, but not all, of course ). Look at the Guys Braking these "Cannons", on You Tube ! They're comment's, Say it ALL,.. "now, I can shoot this, thing" ! For me personally, I can HIT our 11 inch, dia., steel Plate, at 650-700 Yards ( our self imposed LIMIT for big Game ) with, my .270 WSM, Prone, over a Pack and over "Sticks", sitting, to 400 Yards, repeatably. My son and I shoot 20-30 rounds each, per session at several different yardages/ positions and we have, NO complaints about, recoil ( he shoots a 7mm-08 w 150 grain ELD-X's).
