[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 601549, member: 20443"] I voted for the 338 because you stated you wanted a 1000 an elk. The 300 has plenty of power to do it and I think if you were just talking about energy and possibly a little easier to shoot I would vote that but I have been hearing that the 338 gives much longer barrel life. I was having the difficulty of deciding between the 7 RM and 300 ultra for my build. I went for the 7 to learn with. If I find I want to shoot further on elk than 800 I will jump the 300 most likely and go to the 338 simply for brrel life and the gain in power is much more. Using the 300 vs the 7 you only get a few hundred foot lbs more but have a large increase in powder, recoil, bullet weight, muzzle break... if Im going that big I think I would just take a full step and get the 338 and get 600+ ft lbs of energy, over what the 7 mag can get with 180's. I hope by the time I rebarrel berger will have a 338 bullets out in the 250gr class hopefully around .7 bc [/QUOTE]
