[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1749719, member: 10755"] You want 338 cal minimum in my opinion. I built a 338 EDGE on a Rem 700 Sendero platform, even with the +P treatment, I was having issues. I then built a 338-416 Rigby Improved 35 degree shoulder. This rifle will take out anything within it's usable 2 mile range. I have only just finished this gun, had a 2 year wait on a stock and the donor stock cracked, it was repaired and used as is to a mile with excellent results. I really like the ballistics of 338 cal, there is a very good array of high BC bullets to choose from. Only drawbacks with 416 Rigby based Wildcats is action size required and brass cost, 50 pieces runs $200 here. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
