[QUOTE="H-BAR, post: 27720, member: 1281"] Cynical you don't see that many 338s in benchrest because you have the 6.5-284!!! See the question is why torture yourself when you can win with the smaller caliber. You will find that many benchrest shooters are blitz type shooters that finish their strings in a rapid manner. This is easier with the smaller gun. That being with the idea that if you shoot fast you get the same wind by not letting the conditions change within your string. That is not to say that you couldn't win with an accurate 338. When it comes to hunting and killing something at long distance then of course the 338 will shine. You will have to decide what is important to you. If you shoot benchrest versus hunt. Shot placement vs caliber vs how far you plan to hunt. A lot of smiths frown on the Lapua round in a Remington. Good Luck in your venture! [/QUOTE]
