[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1350008, member: 68875"] Buy a .260 or .308. Shoot...a lot. You can shoot almost 10x with these for the same cost as the .338LM. Ask a lot of questions. 1. Dialing up means reticle goes down, meaning muzzle of rifle goes up, means aiming higher to compensate for drop of bullet. 2. I use Shooter on my phone. JBM ballistics on my computer to make printable drop charts. But when conditions like temp, elevation, barometric pressure, humidity, shooting angle up or down, etc. change, so do your drops. 3. I use a Kestral 4500 w. Applied Ballistics 4. I am a fan of 1 load for your rifle for all hunting uses. In .338LM, I think a Berger 300 Elite Hunter, Berger 300 OTM Tactical, Sierra 300 Match King would be what I would shoot. 5. No clue. Scour the web. [/QUOTE]
