[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 784849, member: 10291"] I have a few 5Rs in 308 that I have put thousands of rounds through for several years, and a more recently purchased 300WM 5R that I have a few hundred rounds through so far. These rifles are exceptionally accurate right out of the box. For high volume practice shooting I think you can't beat the economy of the 308, particularly since you are well stocked with components. While 1000 yard, or further shooting can certainly be done with the 308, practicing at this range tends to be more quality than quantity shooting with wind reading skill development being primary component. I personally would lean towards the 300WM for serious high precision practice at this range. I think the extra 300 FPS with heavy, high BC VLD's (like 210VLD's @ 2800FPS) would be more representative of your 338's ballistics, and provide an advantage in hit percentage at this range. IMO.
