[QUOTE="Steve Shelp, post: 20933, member: 22"] Fergus, The mans name from Sierra is Rich Machholz. Cronhelm, The 338 UM isn't a bad choice for a sporter weigh rifle for long range shooting. The case has the capacity and the Sendero type rifles (aluminum bedding block and HS stock) with a 26" barrel have a good reputation for accuracy. And that 26" barrel will help, though it would be nice to have a couple extra inches hanging out there IMO. But for a poor mans LR rifle I say you could do much worse! Recoil will be rather stiff wiothout a brake on it, and much tougher to spot your own impacts also. just a suggestion for your consideration. Also in reference to my comments above about the bullets hogging up case capacity. I see your comments on never seeing a short throat. If you've never seen or loaded these 300gr bullets you'll know what I talking about when you see them. These bullets are as long as a 223 Rem case to give you a comparison. I've never seen a factory throat long enough to seat these bullet into the lands and not have the bullet sticking way down in the case. Remember factory gun throats are cut for the max. length of the magazines not the longest bullets made for that caliber. Not arguing only raising the safety flag and saying just be careful when loading and have fun! Your bit and on your way....... have fun with your magnum! with or without the "itus" to go with it. Who cares? shooting is shooting period. Good luck! Steve [/QUOTE]
