[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1703796, member: 33159"] You’re in a quandary like so many of us like minded gentlemen on this site. You “NEED” a new rifle and figure out what hap you want to fill. I’m a gunaholic. I caught the “disease” when I started reloading. I had a 30-06, 243 and a 300 WSM in my stable. Once I fine tuned loads for those rifles, I needed another project. Bought a 7 STW, then a 6.5-284 Norma. Then I built 2 6.5 Grendel’s for night time hog hunting. Final piece to my puzzle was a 338 Lapua. I was looking at multiple choices in the 338 caliber. The reason I chose the Lapua was based on the availability of brass and all the reloading components. Plus, there’s a large amount of factory ammo offerings if even needed in a pinch. This is why I dropped the 338 RUM and the wildcat 338 Edge. Your 300 Win Mag will do everything you want and need it to do. Figure out if you want to go bigger or smaller. Then do your research from there. The 2 rifles I’ve enjoyed shooting the most are also the 2 that have had to have the barrels replaced. They are my 7 STW and 6.5-284 Norma. I have brakes on both and there is virtually no recoil. They are stupid accurate, too. If you want a wildcat, look at the Sherman cartridges. Very efficient. Good luck and have fun deciding. I always want another gun, but can’t justify buying anything else at this time. [/QUOTE]
