[QUOTE="TheRioKid, post: 1396576, member: 99516"] Hi everybody, I have been a member for a while and love reading the info here. My two longest range hunts were a Mule deer at 540 yds and an Oryx at 564 yds. Both successful. I don't really hunt a lot at long range, but do make sure I am capable and well practiced if the need arises. My brother in law and I along with a few friends shoot on our long range field. We have the room to take targets out beyond 1600 yds, but I tend to stay around 500 - 700 yds with my current setups. I may start stretching my legs a bit more and the wife approved a new rig. I am not concerned with platform opinions as I am pretty sure which rig and optics I will be ordering. What I would like is to hear your opinions on the 300 Win Mag vs. the 338 Lapua Mag. Both in shooting steel and Mule Deer / Elk hunting. Cost is not a huge factor as I know which will ring up faster. Mainly looking for your thoughts on recoil, reloading, and range limits. Thanks much, TRK. [/QUOTE]
