[QUOTE="RockZ, post: 444860, member: 5750"] I hunt long range with everything from a 6-284 win to a 338 lapua improved. It all depends how bad *** you want to be. The big 30's do very well. I'm not familiar with the 30 Cody, though. The big 7's have always interested me as well. I've shot them all from 7wsm to 7 RUM and have had great results. The probelm I have is that once I build one, I want a different one. If I build something big like the 338 that hits hard and get it working well, then I want something fast and flat with less recoil, like the 6-284. Then I want something fast that hits a little harder so I try the 7rum. I am the ultimate tinkerer. Now I'm building something more practical - a 7-300win AI. If you don't care about barrel life, weight , recoil, blast etc. Just build a rifle that will get the ballistics you want with the bullet you want and have fun with it! Then make sure it is very well put together for ultimate accuracy. I really like the 338 for elk though, and that's why I built it. Sometimes you will built a hotrod powerhouse and it will only shoot accurately at more mundane velocities. I always hate to see guys with 300RUM's only shooting at 300wsm velocities because that is the only accurate load they found. It is smart of them but what a waste of powder and barrel life and recoil and rifle weight. After all, you are not getting married to it and can divorce it without getting taken to the cleaners. What I have found is that all of these cartridges will work great-it all depends what gets you psyched! [/QUOTE]
