[QUOTE="Salmonchaser, post: 1524773, member: 107697"] I have a 338 Jarrett, love it. 250 gr. Accubonds at 2950. 8.5 pound rifle. It is however a fire forming proposition and the requisite cases, 8mm Remington mag, are hard to find anymore. You can squeeze down 375H&H but the necks end up pretty short, and it's a bit of a pain. The 340 bee is pretty close particularly with careful construction of handloads. I think the 340 would be a pretty simple rebarrel job. I'm not as tough as some guys and find anything launching 250 grain bullets at near 3000 FPS to be a handful regarding recoil. Nothing wrong with a .338 win mag either. Not quite as fast but with the scopes and range finders we have now, more than capable out to further than I like to shoot critters. [/QUOTE]
