[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 270588, member: 1007"] Hello there and welcome to LRH.com! This is a great sport. It sounds like you are on the right track to getting to the 1K line. You will find a wealth of info here. The only thing I would try and steer you away from is jumping in head first with a 338 LM. It is a fine cartridge and all but by the time you learn how to use it and get the practice you need for concistent hits at that range, your barrel will be toast or near toast. I would at the very least supplement your arsenal with something like a 308. The 308 is very easy to learn on as it is not finicky at all, cheap to opperate and is extreemly accurate to build your skills and confidence. Best of all the barrel will last you long enough to pass on to the next generation. I am not saying you should not pursue the 338 LM nor even hold off, but at least concider also getting a more user friendly weapon to help you learn how to get the most out of your big boomer. Again, welcome! :) [/QUOTE]
